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 Affirmative form:
(both clauses)? (F) If + present simple, subject + will + infinitive
E.g., If I get a puppy for my birthday, I will be so happy!
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I will the students what they enjoy doing on the weekends to elicit first vocabulary around
begin your presentation? weekend activities. For the second part of the lesson, during the presentation, I will then
elicit the affirmative first conditional but discussing the types of conditions that allow these
activities, and eventually to elicit the target affirmative form, “If it’s sunny this weekend, I
will go to the park.” – this will be our model sentence.
3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: “If it doesn’t rain the weekendm I will go to the park.”
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Form: If + do/does not + present simple, subject + will + infinitive
(You might find there is more than one possibility,
but you only need to show one negative and one Model sentence in question form: “Will you go to the park this weekend if it’s sunny?”
question, then analyse the forms.) Form: Will + infinitive + if + infinitive (present simple)?
4. What is the function? (M) Talking about actions or events in the future that are probable or likely; events or actions
that have an actual possibility of happening. NOT, for example, “If I had four hands, I could
clean my house in half the time!”, as the possibility of having four hands in the future is not
probable or likely.
5. What do students need to know about the Affirmative & Negative forms
pronunciation, including sentence stress and In the result clause of the affirmative form, the contracted form is typically used with the
intonation? (P) modal verb (I’ll, you’ll, he’ll, we’ll, etc.) (e.g., “If it’s sunny this weekend, I’ll go to the park”)
(Think only about how the model sentence
would normally be said.) In the result clause of negative form, the contracted form is also used with the modal verb
(e.g., “If it rains tomorrow, we can’t go to the park”, “If I don’t get a puppy for my birthday, I
won’t be happy”, etc.)
