1st conditional
Hey,
I have a problem with conjunctions in the first conditional. How do these apply to the first conditional?:
I’ll wash the dishes as soon as this TV show is over.
Call me as soon as you get in.
I’ll sit outside until it gets dark.
I will keep looking for my car keys until I find them!
I’ll finish this report before I leave tonight.
Please take the garbage out before you go to work today.
For me, these above don't look like the first conditional at all... Where's condition + result pattern in them? Could anyone explain it to me?

Bartek Poland For me, these above don't look like the first conditional at all. That's because they are not conditional sentences. They don't have "if".
