Assignment B - PPP Grammar Lesson Table: First Conditional
NB: Look at the model provided and make sure you understand what MFP refer to here. See Units 2 and 7. For example, in number 4 in the
table below, we do NOT mean 'What is the function of the lesson'!!!
1. What is the target form of the first conditional First conditional
(both clauses)? (F) Affirmative form:
- If + Subject + Present simple, Subject + will + infinitive without to
- Subject + will + infinitive without to If + Subject + Present simple
(the if clause can come first of second in the sentence. The meaning is the same.)
Example:
- If the weather is good, we will go to the beach.
- We will go to the beach if the weather is good.
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I will begin by providing the first part of the sentence (based on one of the students'
begin your presentation? examples in warmer) and then, elicit the second part (the result clause).
Example: If you study hard, you will pass the exam.

,3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: If you don’t study hard, you won’t pass the exam.
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Form: If + Subject + Present simple, Subject + won’t + infinitive without to
Model sentence in question form: Will you pass the exam if you study hard? (yes/no
question)
Where will we go if the weather is good? (wh-word
question)
Form: (Wh-word) + Will + Subject + infinitive without to If + Subject + Present
simple?
(I will also take into account students’ warmer examples)
4. What is the function? (M) Talking about possible (or probable) situations in the future and its probable result.
1st conditional sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements
about the real world, and about particular situations.

,5. What do students need to know about the WEAK FORMS
pronunciation, including sentence stress and In affirmative form the subject and will are usually contracted:
intonation? (P) I’ll, you’ll, we’ll, they’ll, etc.
(Think only about how the model sentence
would normally be said.)
In negative form (in the result clause) the verb will and not are usually contracted:
won’t Reminder (Present Simple): In negative form (in the condition clause) the
auxiliary verbs do/does and not are usually contracted: don’t, doesn’t.
STRESS
Affirmative:
The stress is on the main verb of the sentence and any content words following the
verb: If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
If the weather is good, we will go to the beach.
Note: Although “will” is a weak form, sometimes, when we are sure that the result is
likely or not likely to happen, we can stress it.
If the weather is good, I will go to the beach.
Negative: Auxiliary will + not carries stress and any content words following the
verb. If you don’t study hard, you won’t pass the exam.
