I'm doing just great thanks for asking

if you watch this lesson you'll learn the

first conditional. There won't be a

bright future unless we work on it now !

They will move to another city if

necessary.

A students will complete an English course

provided they are highly encouraged.

Whatever happens to us won't change the

outcome. In this lesson, as I said, we're

going to look at the first conditional.

so stay tuned.

I've already talked about conditionals if

you want to watch those lessons you may

click here. Now let's concentrate on the

first conditional first. We use it

when talking about a situation which may

exist in the future and thus is a

probable situation, we have a formula

and that is, the subject plus the present simple

then we need will plus

infinitive, so the first part we call it

a condition, and then the second part we

call it a result. Just like my

introductory example: If you watch this

lesson, you'll learn the first

conditional. Now I could've said you'll

learn the the first conditional, if you

watch this lesson. It's the same thing

the only thing that changes is the

importance that you want to give to

the first part of the sentence for

example, in this case, you'll learn the first

conditional, is more important than, if

you watch this lesson. So I've listed

four rules or four tips for you to follow

and to understand better the first

conditional. The first tip that I want to

talk about is to use unless instead of

if, unless means "if not". The example was

There won't be a bright future unless we

work on it now. So we have the result

right here: there won't be a bright

future. and then the condition: unless we

work on it now. I could have said there

won't be a bright future, if we don't

work on it now. It's the same thing. Now

let's take a look at the second tip. We

could omit the verb "to be" by adding "if + adjective"

or a prepositional phrase

If you don't know what a

prepositional phrase is, you can click

here and watch a lesson on that. The

example that I gave you at the beginning

was: they will move to another city if

necessary, so we have "is" plus adjective: necessary

The other example that I listed here: He

won't go to the beach if hot. He

will go to the beach if warm. Okay the third

tip is we can use provided, provided that,

proving, as long as, only if when you want

to state that one situation is necessary

for another. Ok let's take a look at the

example maybe you'll get what I mean:

A student will complete an English course

and then I used "provided" just provided

provided they are highly encouraged.

So the first start the first part of the

sentence you can see that is the result

the condition is after provided, provided

they are highly encouraged. Let's take a

look at another example: Her parents

won't worry as long as she calls them

every evening for example. Her parents

wont't worry is the result of the statement as

long as she calls them, is the

conditional, is the condition

of the sentence. Now the last tip that I

have for you today about first

conditional, is in the condition, we can

also use whoever, whatever, wherever

however, whichever, and whenever let's

take a look at my examples.

Whatever happens to us so this is the

condition part of the statement, won't

change the outcome, won't change the

outcome is the result.

Another example would be: Whenever I see

her in the condition, I'll tell her about

her marks. It's the result of the sentence

of the statement. Now let's recap

So in this lesson, I talked about the first conditional. It's a

situation that may happen in the future

so it's probable. So we have a formula

for this: in the condition part of the

sentence, so after if, unless, provided, etc

we need the subject obviously, and the

present simple, in the result though, we

need: will, plus infinitive. These could change

according to the importance, so it may

happen that you want the result first

and then the condition, it's up to you

I gave you four tips, on how to use the first

conditional correctly. If you haven't

understood please rewatch the lesson.

That's it for today, thank you very much

for watching, if you want to post your

own example you may do so, if you want to

post also comments or questions you may
