If+Are+Ing Correct?
I saw the following sentence on a book (It was a conversation between two students).
If you are going to school bring an extra pencil.
I want to know whether this is correct or not because I have never seen that if condition with "ing" form.
Feel free to remove, if below content is considered as spam.
I checked Google on this,
Some Links : https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/english-grammar/conditional/ , https://guidetogrammar.org/grammar/conditional2.htm
Almost all articles explain that there are three types of if conditions.
Eg :
- First conditional: If I have enough money, I will go to Japan.
- Second conditional: If I had enough money, I would go to Japan.
- Third conditional: If I had had enough money, I would have gone to Japan.
I couldn't find any other type.

I'd say if you're saying you've never seen this construction before, you're not looking hard enough.

My only comments are that it should be school in lowercase (unless School is the name of a specific place) and that there should be a comma after it. Everything else about the sentence is perfectly fine.
