Not sure how clear this is for you but try it.

The examples in the second half make it clearer, I think.

It is possible to use other words instead of if in first conditional sentences:

Let's study each case separately.

When: When the "condition" will definitely happen in the future.

Look at the difference between these two sentences:

If I see Sam, I'll give him your message. (I'm not sure if I will see him or not)

When I see Sam, I'll give him your message. (I will definitely see Sam)

As soon as: To emphasize immediacy.

My feet hurt! As soon as I get home, I'm going to take off these high heels.

As soon as we have enough money saved, we'll take a vacation to Costa Rica. We can't wait!

I'll respond to your e-mail as soon as I can.

Unless: Substitute for "if not."

You won't lose any weight unless you start eating healthier food.
= You won't lose any weightif you don't start eating healthier food.

I'm not going to dance unless somebody invites me.
= I'm not going to danceif somebody doesn't invite me.

Unless there's an emergency at work, I'll be home on time.
=If there's not an emergency at work, I'll be home on time.

This segment is about a woman who killed her violent husband and is now in house arrest. The segment shows police officers telling her about how her ankle bracelet works and its misuse consequences. For this blog, I'm writing the matches in the correct order, but you should mix the second column up when you prepare the exercise sheet for your students.

Ask your students to do the matching exercise before they watch the segment:

Disscuss the following questions with a partner:

1 - What are the advantages and disadvantages of house arrest?
2 - Do you agree with this procedure of the law? Why (not)?
3 - Is it an effective way to rehabilitate prisoners? Why (not)?

Match the condition and the consequence of the following actions.

Conditions:

1 - She passes the 100 perimeter space.
2 - The alarm continues for more than 3 minutes.
3 - She breaks the house arrest rules.
4 - She has any violation.
5 - She attempts to remove the electronic ankle bracelet or tamper with the base unit.
6 - They get a blackout or something.

( 1 ) The alarm activates.
( ) A signal is automatically sent and a car is seen immediately.
( ) She goes back to jail.
( ) It automatically adds 10 years to her sentence.
( ) An alarm automatically alerts the police.
( ) The base unit still works.

Now watch the segment and decide whether your guesses were correct.

Now rewrite the couple of sentences, using the 1st conditional:
Ex:
1 - If she passes the 100 feet perimeter, the alarm will activate.
