Question grep command help

I wanna use grep or some other commands to display only the first column of the file,
each word in the line is seperated by a while space, like:
a1 a2 a3 a4
b1 b2 b3 b4
....
z1 z2 z3 z4

I just wanna show:
a1
b1
...
z1

how could I do that?

And if they are seperated by tabs, how to do that?
