Build one conditional. There is exactly one *will* in the parts, and it has only one legal home.
Six sentences. Two of them keep the will and are correct.
Is this correct? If it will rain, we will cancel.
The rule, why the mistake is stubborn, and the two real exceptions.
The if-half uses the present, even when the meaning is future.

Three real conditions, all about the future.
Topic: charging drivers to enter city centres.
Write three conditions. Every one of them should be about the future.
That is the trap: future meaning, present verb after if.
One per line.
Say why that is not a contradiction.
Eight if-halves. Two of them keep the will.
