Common errors in English: Usage of Present Simple/Future simple rain

Present Simple+ Future Simple


Incorrect : If it will rain tomorrow, I shall not go to college.


Correct . If it rains tomorrow, I shall not go to college.


Note : If we talk about a realistic future event in a conditional sentence, the conditional clause should be in the present simple and the principal clause in the future simple tense. In place of ‘shall/will’ in the principal clause, other modals like can, may or must can also be used. 


For example:

If she invites me, I can/may/must attend the party.


However, the 'if' clause may also be in the future tense if you make a request. 


For example:

I shall be grateful if you will lend me some money.
