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) If clause (condition): if + subject + present simple verb
Main clause (result): subject + will + infinitive
Example: If I wake up late, I will miss the lesson.
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to begin I will elicit by asking the students what their plans are for the holidays. I will use their
your presentation? feedback in my model sentence.
Example: If my dad takes leave, we will go to the beach
3. What are the negative and question (interrogative) Model sentence in negative form: If my dad does not take leave, we will not go to the
forms of your model sentence? beach.
(You might find there is more than one possibility, Form: If + subject + does not + present simple, subject + will/will not + verb
but you only need to show one negative and one
question, then analyse the forms.) Model sentence in question form: If my dad takes leave, will we go to the beach?
Form: If + subject + present simple, will + subject + verb
4. What is the function? (M) The function of the first conditional is to express a possible condition and its results in the
future.
5. What do students need to know about the Contractions: students need to know the hearing and pronouncing forms of contractions
pronunciation, including sentence stress and with conditionals.
intonation? (P) Intonation: The voice raises slightly at the end of the first clause which gives an indication
(Think only about how the model sentence would that the speaker has more to say. The voice falls slightly at the end of the second clause
normally be said.) which gives an indication that the speaker has completed what he has to say.
Eg. I and will may be contracted to I’ll. Does and not may be contracted to doesn’t. He
