A thing that's used in English but I was taught it's a mistake. Or it isn't nowadays?

Generally in conditional sentences (especially the first conditional, which talks about real possibilities), we use the present simple tense after "if," not "will." For example, "If you will come to the party, I will be happy" is often considered incorrect or at least nonstandard. Instead, it should be "If you come to the party, I will be happy." However, "if you would" can be correct in certain contexts, especially when expressing willingness or polite requests. For example, "If you would help me, I would appreciate it." In everyday spoken English, some people might say "if you will" in ways that sound natural, especially in certain dialects or for emphasis, but it's less formal. So the core of the rule is: in conditional clauses beginning with "if," use the present simple tense rather than "will" to talk about future possibilities. "If you would" is different and relates more to willingness or polite requests. 1. First Conditional (Real Future Possibility): Structure: If + Present Simple, ... will + base verb Example: If it rains tomorrow, I will stay home. Explanation: Here, "if" introduces a condition using the present simple tense ("rains"). The result clause uses "will" to indicate what will happen if the condition is met. Notice we do not say "If it will rain tomorrow." 2. Using "If you will" — When is it correct? While "If you will" is generally avoided in conditional clauses to express future events, it can appear when "will" means "to be willing." In this case, it expresses willingness or insistence. Example: If you will help me, I would be grateful. Meaning: "If you are willing to help me..." Or in a polite request: If you will just wait a moment, I’ll get your order. This usage is more formal or old-fashioned but still correct. 3. Using "If you would" "If you would" is often used for polite requests, wishes, or hypothetical situations. Example: If you would be so kind as to sign here. Or: If you would come earlier, we could talk more. 4. Summary: - For general conditions about the future, use present simple after "if" (not "will"). - "If you will" is used to talk about willingness. - "If you would" is used for politeness or hypothetical wishes.
