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 If + subject + present simple…, subject + will + infinitive
(both clauses)? (F)
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to If I study hard, I’ll pass my test.
begin your presentation?
3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: If I don’t study hard, I won’t pass my test.
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Form: If + subject + present simple + do not/don’t … subject + will not/won’t + infinitive

clause are contracted, while the subject pronoun in the second clause remains the same: If I
don’t (do not) study hard, I won’t (will not) pass my test.
Sentence stress: negative auxiliaries such as “don’t” and “won’t”, main verbs in the
affirmative form of the first conditional, nouns, and words that appear at the end of a

Intonation: intonation rises in the first clause and falls in the second clause.
