1. Grammar presentation
First Conditional.
We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the
future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen.
The first conditional is a structure used for talking about possibilities in the present or in the
future. The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other
clause:
if + present simple, ... will + infinitive
It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know what
will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
If it rains, I won't go to the park.
If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight.
If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes.
She'll be late if the train is delayed.
She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon.

If I see her, I'll tell her.

Practice
(S-T)
Through the same Flip Chart presentation, the teacher conducts a controlled
practice activity. By asking for volunteers, or naming someone randomly, a student will have
to complete the missing information on both clauses of a First Conditional sentence.
Focus on the other pictures and tell SS that they show what the man's answer is. Focus on the first
picture and sentence 1 (If I lend you my newspaper ...). Tell SS that this is the beginning of the
conversation. Then tell SS, in pairs, to number the other sentences 2-9, using the pictures to help
them.
6.1
Tell SS they're going to hear the Italian man giving his explanation. SS listen and check their order.
Play the tape/CD once. Check answers.
Track 38
If I lend you my newspaper, we'll start talking.
If we start talking, we'll become friends.
If we become friends, I'll invite you to my house in Venice.
If I invite you to my house, you'll meet my beautiful daughter, Nicoletta.
If you meet Nicoletta, youll fall in love with her.
If you fall in love with her, you'll run away together.
If you run away, I'll find you.
If I find you, I'll kill you.
So that's why I won't lend you my newspaper.
Tell SS to focus on the pictures and cover the sentences. Play the tape/CD again, pausing after each
if clause to elicit the continuation of the sentence.
Now drill the story with the whole class, eliciting it line by line. Finally put SS into pairs, A and B. A
covers the sentences and retells the story using the pictures. B prompts and corrects. Then they swap
roles.
Now focus on the tenses and elicit that the verb after it is in the present simple and the other verb is
in the future (will/won't+ infinitive). Explain that sentences with if are often called conditional
sentences, and that this structure (a sentence with if+ present+ future) is often called the first
conditional.
Tell SS to go to Grammar Ban.le. 6A on p. 136. Go through the rules and model and drill the
example sentences.
