First Conditional
First Conditional
XVI CYCLE
INTEGRANTES:
We use the 1st conditional when we believe the condition and result can (and
probably will) happen in reality, but they are not 100% certain like the zero
conditional above.
It is formed by using the present tense in the condition part of the sentence
and most often the future tense with “will” in the result part of the sentence:
GRAMMATICAL
STRUCTURE
USING “ -‘LL” FOR “WILL” IN THE
1ST CONDITIONAL
WE USE “WILL NOT” OR “WON’T”
FOR NEGATIVE RESULTS
USING THE 1ST CONDITIONAL
FOR WARNINGS.
USING MANNERS-UTILIZANDO MODALES
Zero condicional (if + sujeto + p.s + , sujeto + p.s) 100% - will always
happen
first condicional (if + sujeto + p.s + , + sujeto + will + verb infinitivo) 50%-
90%- will probably happen
The first conditional describes a particular situation, whereas the zero conditional
describes what happens in general.
