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)
Affirmative form:
1. If clause - If + Subject + Present simple. [condition]
2. Main clause - Subject + will + infinitive without to. [consequence]
The if clause can come first or second in the sentence, the meaning is the same. When the if clause is
first, we need a comma at the end of the clause:
If + Subject + Present simple, Subject + will + infinitive without to
Subject + will + infinitive without to If + Subject + Present simple
Example:
1. If I have enough money, I will travel to Iceland. [Comma required]
I will travel to Iceland if I have enough money. [No comma required]
2. If the weather is nice tomorrow, we will go hiking in the mountains.
We will go hiking in the mountains if the weather is nice tomorrow.
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I'll start by engaging the students in a discussion about their travel experiences. I'll ask if any of them
begin your presentation? have had the opportunity to travel abroad and talk about their most recent trip destination, e.g., Has
anyone ever traveled outside of the country? Where did you go on your last trip?
Then, I'll use one of the student's responses from the warm-up session and use it as the model
sentence eliciting both the main clause and the result clause.
For example:
If I have enough money, I will travel to Iceland.
,3. What are the negative and question Negative form:
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? To form the negative form of the first conditional sentence, we typically use "won't" or "will
(You might find there is more than one possibility, not" in the consequence clause.
but you only need to show one negative and one Model sentence in negative form: If I don’t have enough money, I won’t travel to Iceland.
question, then analyse the forms.)
Form: If + Subject + Present simple, Subject + will + infinitive without to
In this negative form, "don't have" is the negative form of "have" in the condition clause,
and "won't travel" is the negative form of "will travel" in the consequence clause.
Interrogative form:
To form the interrogative form of the first conditional sentence, we switch the positions of the
subject ("I") and the auxiliary verb ("will") in the consequence clause.
Model sentence in question form: Will I travel to Iceland if I have enough money? [Yes/No
Question]
Form: Will + Subject + infinitive without to If + Subject + Present simple?
In this interrogative form, the subject "I" and the auxiliary verb "will" are switched in the
consequence clause, and the rest of the sentence remains the same.
4. What is the function? (M) The function of the first conditional is to express a cause-and-effect relationship between a specific
condition and its potential consequence. It allows us to talk about possible or likely future situations
based on the condition being met. The first conditional is used to discuss real and feasible scenarios,
where there is a reasonable chance of the condition being fulfilled and the expected result happening.
The first conditional serves several functions:
It helps us convey potential outcomes that may occur in the future if a certain condition is
satisfied.
The first conditional is often used to discuss future intentions or plans contingent upon a
, specific condition being realized.
Used to make educated guesses or speculate about probable occurrences based on certain
conditions.
By using the first conditional, we establish a connection between a cause (the condition) and
its effect (the consequence).
The first conditional is also employed to provide warnings or offer advice based on the
potential outcome of a specific condition being met.
Overall, the first conditional provides a structured way to talk about future possibilities and their
potential consequences, allowing for clearer communication and understanding of potential outcomes
under certain conditions.
5. What do students need to know about SENTENCE STRESS
pronunciation, including sentence stress and
intonation? (P) In the model sentence, the primary stress falls on the main verbs "have" and "travel."
Emphasizing these words helps highlight the condition and consequence of the sentence.
(Think only about how the model sentence
Students should be aware that stressing "have”, and "travel" can help convey the importance
would normally be said.) of these actions in relation to the condition.
Example: If I have enough MONEY, I will TRAVEL to Iceland.
Although “will” is a weak form, sometimes, when we are sure that the result is likely or not
likely to happen, we can stress it.
In the negative form of this sentence, auxiliary will + not carries stress and any content
words following the verb.
Example: If I don’t have enough money, I WON’T TRAVEL to Iceland.
The question form of this sentence, the primary stress falls on the auxiliary verb "will."
It is pronounced with a slightly higher pitch and emphasis compared to the other words in the
sentence.
This stress on "will" indicates that the sentence is a question and captures the
listener's attention.
Example: WILL I travel to Iceland if I have enough money?
, INTONATION
The first conditional sentence typically follows a rising-falling intonation pattern.
The intonation rises slightly on the condition clause and falls on the consequence clause,
emphasizing the result or action that follows the condition.
Affirmative and negative forms: voice normally falls at the end:
If I have enough money, I will travel to Iceland. (➘)
If I don’t have enough money, I won’t travel to Iceland. (➘)
Question form: For yes/no questions the voice rises at the end:
Will I travel to Iceland if I have enough money? (➚)
CONTRACTIONS
In affirmative form the subject and will are usually contracted: I’ll, you’ll, we’ll, they’ll, etc.
In negative form (in the result clause) the verb will and not are usually contracted: won’t.
Reminder (Present Simple): In negative form (in the condition clause) the auxiliary verbs
do/does and not are usually contracted: don’t, doesn’t.
Although the model sentence does not directly use the negative form in the condition clause,
it's worth noting that "don't" could be used to contract "do not" in a sentence like,
Example: If I don't have enough money, I won't be able to travel to Iceland."
6. What is the context I will use to introduce the I will introduce the first conditional form by incorporating a context centered around vacation plans
form? (M) and future travel predictions.
To initiate a discussion, I will present a relatable scenario, such as planning a vacation, to the
students. Through this context, I will encourage them to contemplate the essential conditions or
factors necessary for a successful trip.
