Assignment B PPP Grammar lesson table – First conditional
MFP – Meaning, Form and Pronunciation
1. What is the target form of the first Affirmative Form (Conditional Clause): If + Present Simple, + subject + will + verb
conditional (both clauses)? (F) E.g., If it is sunny, I will go for a walk.
2. What is the model sentence you will elicit to I will begin by eliciting a question (based on one of the student’s example in warmer) and ask
begin your presentation? about, “What will you do if it snows tomorrow?” then from the elicit the affirmative: “If it snows
tomorrow, I’ll make a snowman.”
3. What are the negative and question Model sentence in negative form: If it doesn’t snow tomorrow, I’ll visit my friend.
(interrogative) forms of your model sentence? Form: If + subject + Do/does not + Present simple + subject + will (not) + verb (infinitive)
(You might find there is more than one Model sentence in question form: What will you do if it snows tomorrow?
possibility, but you only need to show one Form: Interrogative + will (future simple) + subject + verb (infinitive) + if + Present Simple
negative and one question, then analyze the
forms)
4. What is the function? (M) To discuss the actions/events that are likely to happen in the future. The likeliness of its
happening is not 100%, but there is a possibility of happening.
5. What do students need to know about the First Conditional with Contractions
pronunciation, including sentence stress and
intonation? (P) Contractions – is a shortened form of one or two words by replacing the missing letters by using
(Think only about how the model sentence an apostrophe. E.g., I’m (I am)
would normally be said)
Subject pronouns and auxiliary verb are usually contracted in affirmative form. E.g., I’m (I am)
“If it snows tomorrow, I’ll make a snowman.”
Verbs are contracted in negative form. E.g., won’t, doesn’t, don’t
“If it doesn’t snow tomorrow, I’ll visit my friend.
Sentence stress is complex in conditional sentences, and usually, the main verb carries the stress.
E.g., If it snows tomorrow, I’ll make a snowman.
Intonation
- Rising Intonation – for Yes/No questions – the voice rises at the end of a sentence. (➚)
- Conditional Sentences – the intonation voice rises at the end of the first clause, and then
fall in the second clause. (➚➘)
