, When creating if clauses, some students apply the simple future
instead of the simple present.
Solution: I will remind the learners that 'if' comes after simple
present tense (If S + verb present simple, will + infinitive).
They may not always notice the contraction between both the
subject and the auxiliary verb - for instance, He'll is constructed
from He will.
Solution: I will offer several cases and encourage them to observe
and repeat.
Length of Lesson: 60 mins Anticipated Problems :
The students might find it a bit confusing to use both the simple
present and future simple in the same sentence.
Solution: I will keep reminding them to follow the structure of the
first conditional form which is Subject + present simple, Subject + will
+ verb in the infinitive.
In the main sentence, insert alternative modal verbs for 'will.
Solution: I will demonstrate how 'might/ could/ may' can be used
instead of 'will' to describe probable events in the future.
