To introduce students to the first conditional form to talk about
possible or probable future activities or events

-Students will understand the form and purpose by presentation in
an organically-generated manner in the warmer.

possible/probably” through dialogue, drilling and written activities.
Teenagers (14-16 years old) -Students will practise producing the form communicatively through
completing a worksheet, class discussion, and asking questions of
their classmates
Present simple, present continuous, past simple for common verbs,
and are familiar with “will” for future events.

form, etc.
Students have probably heard conditionals before, and could easily
confuse the 1st conditonal with other forms, such as “If it was sunny,
I could go to the park” and “If it had been sunny, I would have gone
to the park”, etc. To resolve this, I will be sure to ONLY speak about
the possible action in the FUTURE to clarify that although there are

many forms of conditional, we are only focusing on the 1st.
The form of conditionals in general is different from other English
structures, as we always need 2 clauses. Instead of focusing on the
names of these, I will just make sure to stress that we always need

, an “if” clause and a “result” clause – and encourage students to
think about a conditional phrase as a single object, and not the sum
of two clauses (to simplify).
Making a small error in forming a conditional phrase will completely
change the meaning of the phrase, and can be difficult and
frustrating (especially for teen learners). For example, “if you do the
laundry, I’ll put it away” is perfect in the 1st conditional, however if
students use “when you do the laundry, I’ll put it away”, the
meaning changes and the phrase no longer makes sense. I will give
the students prompts using “If” for all of our in-class discussion to
reinforce the importance of this word in conditional phrases.
