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 (both clauses)? (F) First conditional 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 begin your presentation? I will begin by providing the first part of the sentence (based on one of the students' 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 (interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Model sentence in negative form: If you don’t study hard, you won’t pass the exam. 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. 1 st conditional sentences are based on facts, and they are used to make statements about the real world, and about particular situations. © 2020 The TEFL Academy.

WEAK FORMS In affirmative form the subject and will are usually contracted: I’ll, you’ll, we’ll, they’ll, etc. 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. Question form: in Wh-word questions the stress is on the question word. Where will we go if the weather is good. INTONATION Question form: For yes/no questions the voice rises at the end: © 2020 The TEFL Academy. All rights reserved. 3 Will you pass the exam if you study hard? Affirmative and negative forms: voice normally falls at the end: If you study hard, you will pass the exam. 6. What is the context I will use to introduce the form? (M) Making prediction about the future. 7. How will I try to elicit the first conditional from the students? I will use a student example about the future events or situations, when they feel like given a certain condition something is going to happen (predicting the future). 8. How will I encourage students to analyse the form (S+V, etc.) themselves rather than just telling them what it is? (F) I will put example sentences generated from students on the board, and then analyse them as a class. 9. What concept questions will I ask to check students understand how the form is being used/what it means? - Are we talking about present or future? (Future) - Is it possible that this will happen in the future? (Yes) - Is the situation real or unreal? (Real) - Do we use it to express possible condition and its probable result or improbable result? (probable) - Can I say if it will rain? (No) - Which part of the sentence is the condition and which the consequence? © 2020 The TEFL Academy. All rights reserved. 4 10. What timeline can I use to help students understand sentences such as 'If it's sunny tomorrow, we'll go to the beach.'? (See bibliography for source) 11. How will I get students to practise the pronunciation? Drilling and practice activities. 12. What controlled practice activities will the students do? 1. Students will choose the correct form of the verb. E.g. If he comes/will come I am/will be surprised. 2. Students will complete the sentences using the correct verb form. (if short of time leave out this activity) E.g. If the teacher _______(see) him cheating, he __________(have) big problems. 3. Students will play a game where they make first conditional sentences by matching pairs of picture cards together ('If' and 'result' picture cards). 13. What freer practice activities will the students do? Students will play the Conditional chain game. E.g. If I the weather is good, I’ll go to the beach. If I go to the beach, I’ll swim in the sea. © 2020 The TEFL Academy.
