- We use it to express a future action dependent on a possible condition.
- We also use it to express promises or future intentions based on present or future situations.
- We form it with the structure "Si" + present indicative + simple future.
| Uso | Ejemplo |
|---|---|
| Acción futura dependiendo de condición posible | Si tengo tiempo haré un curso de fotografía. (If I have time, I will do a photography course.) |
| Si ahorro dinero podré comprar materiales para el bricolaje. (If I save money, I will be able to buy materials for DIY.) | |
| Si no tengo miedo participaré en una maratón el próximo año. (If I am not afraid I will participate in a marathon next year.) | |
| Promesas o intenciones futuras | Si exploro nuevas actividades me haré aficionado a la jardinería. (If I explore new activities I will become fond of gardening.) |
Exceptions!
- In this type of conditional, the part of the condition is in the present indicative, not in the subjunctive. Incorrect example: "Si tenga tiempo, haré crucigramas." Correct example: "Si tengo tiempo, haré crucigramas."
- If we express an action in the future, the result does not depend on something completely certain in the present. It is an open and future condition. Example: "Si mañana no llueve, correré una maratón."
