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

1. What is the target form of the first conditional First conditional
(both clauses)? (F) If/condition clause : If + Subject + Present simple
