First conditionals and future time clauses
In the main clause the verb form is usually will + INF, but we can also use may, might, can, could, shall, should, ought to, have to, or an imperative, depending on the meaning. If you have a birthday party, you might get loads of cool presents. If you decide to have a birthday party, tell me.
Future time clauses (begining with when, as soon as, etc.) are followed by a present tense although they actually refer to the future.Until he arrives, I will read a book.They will make a cake before they go.
