We use the first conditional 'if' sentences to talk about very possible or likely future results. I will put the grammar tenses in CAPITAL LETTERS for you to understand. For example, 'If you STUDY hard, you WILL PASS the test.' the first conditional = if + ____ + ____ + VERB. First conditional sentences tell us of a possible future result after a present condition. For example, 'If you take the medicine ____, you will feel better ____.' We use 'will' to show the possible future result. We usually start with the condition part of the sentence and then the future result. When we use this structure, we separate the condition and the result with a comma(,). For example, 'If I finish work early____ I will cook dinner.' We can reverse the sentence structure and put the future result first and the present condition second. For example, 'I will cook dinner if I finish work early.' As you can see, we ____ if we reverse the structure of the sentence. In the first conditional, we can replace 'if' with 'when'. For example, ____ you stop smoking, you ____ more energetic.' For negative sentences, change 'will' for 'won't'. For example, 'If you ____ all that ice-cream, you ____ so good after!' In the first conditional, we can replace 'if' with 'unless'. 'Unless' means 'if...not'. For example, ____ you pass the test, you ____ to the next class.' For questions, we reverse the word order of 'will / won't' and the subject. For example, ____ I eat all this ice-cream, will I feel sick?' We can also reverse the condition and the result in questions. For example, '____ ____ feel sick if I eat all this ice-cream?' With the first conditional, we sometimes use modal verbs (can / could / must / might / should / have to). The modal verb replaces 'will'. For example, 'If you ____ to enter this university, you ____ apply online.' Try these sentences. If you ____, you ____ the test. ____ you take calculated risks in business, you ____ succeed. Don't stop working. If you ____ now, you ____ soon. ____ she ____ her driving test, she ____ to work every day. You ____ punctual if you ____ in the U.K. You ____ go to Lake Geneva if you ____ Switzerland. It's beautiful. ____ Mike ____ free time this year, he ____ to Ireland. ____ you ____ loud music for long periods, you ____ your ears. Colin ____ have problems with the school ____ he ____ his homework. ____ we ____ all our dinner, ____ we have a dessert? ____ ____ stay in Miami if we visit Florida? ____ you ____ in the factory, you ____ wear a helmet. ____ you ____ with Sally, you ____ a lot. ____ you ____ to university, you ____ with your parents. ____ ____ visit me if you ____ to Mexico? What ____ ____ wear if you ____ to the party?
