Teacher Language
i) Eliciting the target language from the context
T: Can anyone tell me what conditional are these examples on the board?
S: First conditional.
T: Excellent! Do we know if it is possibilities in the present and in the future?
S: Yes.
T: That’s right! So now let’s look at an example.
Anne, will we save water if we take showers?
(Write on the board “IF + SIMPLE PRESENT, +WILL/WON’T + VERB”)
S: “If we taker showers, we will save water.”
T: Excellent Anne! Can everyone repeat that.
Student repeat sentence.
Now I want to know what the negative form in this sentence. Anyone?
(Write on board “If we waste electricity, we won’t save the environment”)
S: The negative is won’t.
T: Well done! We use won’t for negative sentences.
Now let’s look at the “If clause”.
(Write on board “If sea levels rise, polar bears will lose their habitat”)
Adam, can you give me the correct answer?
Adam: Polar bears will lose their habitat, if sea levels rise.
T: Excellent Adam! Remember students the ‘if clause’ comes either first or second in the
sentence.
T: Can anyone tell me what conditionals this is?
S: First conditional.
T: Well done! We use first conditionals to talk about possibilities in the present or in the
future.
, ii) Eliciting the form
T: Now let’s look at the form.
Writes on the board:
“If I use a reusable bag, will it help the environment?” (first sentence)
“If we waste electricity, we won’t save the environment” (second sentence)
Adam, what is the use of first conditional?
Adam: We use first conditional to talk about possible situations in the future.
T: Excellent Adam! Now look at the second sentence. What is the negative in that
sentence?
S: Won’t
T: Well done! These are called first conditional forms.
(Write the formation on the board: If + simple present, + will/won’t + verb)
Don’t worry about taking down this information, I will print a worksheet for everyone.
iii) Concept checking
T: Now can anyone tell me what conditionals we looked at again?
S: First conditional.
T: That’s right! Today we going to look at how to use first conditional in negative form.
Writes formation for negative form on the board:
“IF + SIMPLE PRESENT, + WON’T + FUTURE PRESENT
Now let’s look at an example:
In affirmative form the first conditional in the present tense is contracted by the if clause.
And the negative form is usually not contracted. For example: Don’t and won’t
Affirmative:
If I win the recycling competition, I will buy more bins for the environment.
Negative:
If I don’t win the recycling competition, I won’t buy bins for the environment.
Another negative: unless
Unless I win the recycling competition, I won’t buy bins for the environment
