Real future possibility and its consequence.
Why you specifically
The rule
The first conditional talks about a real or possible future situation and its result. The if-clause uses the present simple, and the main clause usually uses will + base verb: If it rains, we will stay at home. The if-clause can be negative, for example If they don't leave now, they will miss the bus. In formal writing, other modal verbs can sometimes appear in the main clause, but will is the standard form at this level.
The trap
If it will rain, we will stay at home.
If it rains, we will stay at home.
In the first conditional, use if + present simple in the condition and will + base verb in the result.

The if-clause should use present simple, not will.
If she will be late, we will start without her.
If she is late, we will start without her.
Use the present simple after if, even when the result is in the future.
If they won't leave now, they will miss the bus.

Use the present simple negative in the if-clause, not won't.
