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. E.g. in 4. we do NOT mean 'What is the function of the lesson'!!!
1. What is the target form of the first The first conditional form has two clauses:
conditional (both clauses)? (F) 1. The ‘If’ Clause: (The Condition) = the present simple after 'if'
Comma (between the two clauses)
2. The ‘Main’ clause: (The Result) = the future simple
If + subject + present simple, + will/would + infinitive (future simple)
Eg. If it snows tomorrow, I will stay home.
Variations:
• The order of the two clauses can be swopped:
eg. I will stay home if it snows tomorrow. (No comma needed here)
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I will begin with the question: What will you do if it rains tomorrow? By doing so, the
begin your presentation? students will respond with their suggestions and from there I can create the modal
sentence: If it rains tomorrow, I will… (filling in their answers) I will explain the subject of
the grammar lesson, namely, first conditionals by way of this modal sentence.
3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: If I don’t go to bed very late, I won’t be tired
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? tomorrow.
(You might find there is more than one Form: If + do not + present simple, will not + infinitive (contractions)
possibility, but you only need to show one
negative and one question, then analyse the Model sentence in question form: What will you do if you go to bed late?
forms) Form: Interrogative + will + verb infinitive + if + present simple?
4. What is the function? (M) Discuss general, real future events or actions that are likely to happen, i.e. an action or
event that is conditional in the real future. We cannot predict the future but we can
imagine how things will turn out. Therefore, when a specific condition is met, it will have
a probable result.
5. What do students need to know about the Stress and weak forms
pronunciation, including sentence stress and In the affirmative form the subject and verb are contracted (eg. I’m, he’s).
intonation? (P) The stress falls at the beginning of each clause when you start with the conditional clause
(Think only about how the model sentence (‘if’ clause)
