English- First Conditionals for class 5

FIRST CONDITIONAL CLASS 5

The first (1st) conditional is the possible conditional. It is used to talk about possible future events and their likely results.

The first conditional sentence structure: If + present simple, will + verb

We use the first conditional to talk about :-

11)    Predictions- to say what we think will happen in a specific situation or when a specific event happens.

Eg. If you don’t hurry, you’ll be late for work.

If you stay out in the rain too long, you’ll get sick!

2)    Superstitions-  a belief that an event or situation will bring good luck or bad luck.

Eg. If you break a mirror, you will have 7 years of bad luck!

If you walk under a ladder, you will have bad luck!

3)    Future plans- to make plans for the future if an event or situation happens first.

Eg. If you go shopping tomorrow, I’ll go with you!

If you have an extra ticket, I’ll go to the concert with you!

4)    Warnings and threats

Eg. Slow down! If the police catch you speeding, you’ll get a ticket.

If you don’t come to my birthday party, I’ll never speak to you again.
