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 First Conditional
(both clauses)? (F) if clause: if + subject + simple present verb
main clause: subject + will + verb
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I will elicit by asking the students about their weekend plans in different weather conditions
begin your presentation? (Use one of the students’ examples in warmer and use it as a modal sentence) for example:
“If it’s sunny this weekend, I’ll go to the beach.”
3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: If it’s not sunny, I’ll stay inside and play video games.
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Form: If + subject + does not/will not + present verb, subject + will(not) + verb
(You might find there is more than one possibility,
but you only need to show one negative and one Model sentence in question form: If it rains, will you stay inside and play video games?
question, then analyze the forms.) Form: If + subject + simple present verb, will + subject + verb
4. What is the function? (M) By using the first conditional, we express a possible condition and its result in the future.
5. What do students need to know about the Students might find it difficult in hearing and pronouncing the weak forms of: if, will/would,
pronunciation, including sentence stress and as they are spoken very quickly to keep the rhythm and stress of the important words in the
intonation? (P) sentence
(Think only about how the model sentence
would normally be said.) If it’s sunny this weekend, I’ll go to the beach.
Is often said as:
If it’s sunny this weekend, I’ll go to the beach.
The intonation pattern rises at the end of the first clause and falls at the end of the second
clause – This is also a new aspect for the students that they were previously unaware of.
