Hi there! I am teaching a class using a business text. Under the grammar reference for the 1st condtional it says:
if+present simple,will+infinitive(without 'to').
Basically I understand it except the last part "infinitive(without 'to')". For example, is "If I change my job, I'll move to New York" wrong?
If anyone can explain this to me it would be very helpful.

Re: 1ST conditional
hi , i think you know the type well, but there are many names;
sometimes it is named ( base) sometimes it is called ( present )
sometimes you see ( infinitive without to ), all the same in diffderent
names. bye

Careful not to confuse the to which is used to build the infinitive form of a verb (to go; to eat; to play) with the preposition to .gt37 wrote:Hi there! I am teaching a class using a business text.
