Podcast sobre First Conditional

Notas do episódio

Hello, my name is Pietra Victoria . I present the English podcast on The first condition The First Conditional is used to express actions or situations that are likely to happen in the future. When we use it we are thinking about a situation or condition in the future that will be responsible for a result. In the First Conditional there is a real possibility that the condition, action or situation in matter will happen. For example: If the weather is nice tomorrow I'll go to the beach If he doesn’t take a bus, he'll have to take a taxi Notice that, in all the situations we are thinking about a future condition. None of the situations is happening yet, but there is the possibility of all of them to conclude. The Present Simple is used to show a possible future condition and the Simple Future to show a possible future result. Remember that the possibility of the condition will happen is real, this is really important in the first conditional. The first conditional structure isn’t rigid because it can vary depending on the sentence. The “if” clause can appear or not in the beginning of the sentence. If + subject+ Simple Present verb, +subject+ will+ verb+ complement For example: If the phone rings, I won't answer it. If he gets up at 5 o’clock, he will eat breakfast Or: Subject+Will+verb+ IF+ present simple+ complement For example: I’ll give you ten dollars if you eat lettuce. My boss will get angry if I arrive late. Thanks for listening!
