The Grammar Show, 10- The First Conditional

10- The First Conditional

Hello, and welcome to today's Grammar Gameshow!

I'm your host, Will!

But I'm not followed by an infinitive,

just feelings of regret!

And of course, let's not forget Leslie,

our all-knowing voice in the sky.

Hello everyone!

Tonight, we're going to ask you three questions about…

The first conditional!

The structure that says something can happen,

only if something else happens first!

OK! Now, let's meet our contestants!

Hello, Will. My name is Sean!

And contestant number two?

It's nice to meet you. I'm Levington!

Wonderful!

Fresh meat!

OK. Let's get going

and don't forget you can play along at home too.

Our first round is an odd one out round.

Which of these statements about the first conditional

is not true?

The formula is: if + present simple + will + infinitive

First conditionals are used for possible present

or future consequences

The ‘if' clause can be at the beginning of the sentence

or in the middle

You can use the present simple, continuous

or perfect tense in the ‘if' clause.

OK!

Sean…what are you thinking?

Well, I know that a) is correct

because ‘if I am hungry, I will eat',

and I know that is correct.

And I'm pretty sure that d) is correct.

But I don't know about the others.

Good thinking!

Levington, how about you?

Well, I'm confident that b) is true,

because I remember reading that

even though we use a present tense,

it has a future meaning.

For example,

‘if I stay the extra day, I will be late next week'.

And I'm certain you can put

‘if' in the middle...

‘I will be late if I stay the extra day'.

But I don't know about the others.

OK!

Last chance!

Anyone?

No?

OK.

Leslie?

They're all correct.

The formula is

if + present tense + will + infinitive.

First conditionals can refer to possible

present or future consequences.

The ‘if' clause can go at the beginning of the sentence,

or in the middle.

And finally, it is possible to use the present

simple, continuous or perfect tenses.

For example:

If I play football, I will be healthy.

If I'm playing football, I will be sweaty

and, if I have played football, I will be tired.

Whoops! No points for you guys!

You should know, if you're on the Grammar Gameshow,

you won't be able to trust a word we say.

OK, on to our next question.

We've just said that the first conditional uses ‘if'

in the conditional clause

and ‘will' in the main clause.

But is it also possible to use ‘will'

in the conditional clause?

Sorry!

I pressed that by mistake. I've no idea!

The answer is ‘No'. Trust me.

You just said we can't trust a word you say!

That was before!

OK.

No, you cannot use ‘will' in the conditional clause.

Wrong I'm afraid.

Totally and utterly wrong.

How embarrassing.

Levington?

We can!

I'm going to need an example!

If Sean will keep trusting you,

he won't get any points.

Nice!

And topical. Great!

Leslie?

Well done!

‘will' can be used in the conditional clause

when a person is being insistent,

or showing irritation at someone.

Another example would be:

if you will leave the windows open when you go out,

you will get burgled!

Levington?

Ten points for you!

OK. Last question.

How can we make a first conditional more formal?

We have to replace ‘if' with a word

- either ‘should' or ‘had'.

You'll have to choose, I'm afraid.

I would choose ‘should' if I were you.

Trust me.

The answer is ‘had'.

Leslie?

Sorry Sean. Not quite right.

We do replace the ‘if', but with ‘should'.

For example,

‘If I go' becomes ‘should I go'.

And don't forget that in a negative,

we use ‘not' instead of ‘don't'

For example:

‘if I don't go' – ‘should I not go'.

Wrong again! But

if you can give me an example,

I'll give you twenty points.

Should I get this correct, I will receive 20 points!

Well done!

Twenty points to Levington.

Oh!

I'm sorry…did you think I was talking to you?

Never mind!

And that brings us to the end of today's

Grammar Gameshow.

And the winner is…

Levington! Well done!

Here's what you've won!

It's a chopstick!

Just the one though!

We'll see you again next week

where you can play for another prize.

And Sean?

Yes?

I like you so much,

I'm not going to drop you down the pit.

Trust me.

Release the donkeys!

It looks like we'll need another contestant.

Thanks for joining us,

and say goodbye Leslie

Goodbye, Leslie

See you next time.

you will get burgled! |||être cambriolé |||será assaltado |||bị trộm |||einbrechen |||soygun yapılacak |||verrai derubato |||被盗 |||verrà derubato ¡te robarán! Soyulacaksın! bạn sẽ bị trộm vào nhà!

Levington? Levington?

Ten points for you! Mười điểm cho bạn!

OK. Last question.

How can we make a first conditional more formal? ||||||||formale İlk koşullu ifadeyi nasıl daha resmi hale getirebiliriz?

We have to replace ‘if' with a word |||sostituire|||| |||substituir|||| Tenemos que sustituir "si" por una palabra 'Eğer' kelimesini bir kelime ile değiştirmeliyiz Chúng ta phải thay thế ‘nếu' bằng một từ

- either ‘should' or ‘had'. - ya sea 'debería' o 'había'. - ya 'should' ya da 'had'. - hoặc ‘nên' hoặc ‘đã'.

You'll have to choose, I'm afraid. Tendrás que elegir, me temo. Korkarım seçim yapmak zorundasınız. Bạn sẽ phải chọn, tôi e rằng.

I would choose ‘should' if I were you. Yerinizde olsam "yapmalıyım "ı seçerdim.

Trust me. |tôi 相信我。

The answer is ‘had'.

Leslie?

Sorry Sean. Not quite right. Üzgünüm Sean. Tam olarak doğru değil.

We do replace the ‘if', but with ‘should'. "Eğer" kelimesini "eğer" ile değiştiriyoruz.

For example,

‘If I go' becomes ‘should I go'. |||se convierte||| Si voy" se convierte en "debo ir". 'Gidersem', 'gitmeli miyim'e dönüşür.

And don't forget that in a negative, ||||||negación Y no lo olvides en negativo, Olumsuz bir durumda bunu unutmayın,

we use ‘not' instead of ‘don't' |||en lugar|| usamos 'no' en lugar de 'no' 'don't' yerine 'not' kullanırız

For example: Örneğin:

‘if I don't go' – ‘should I not go'. 'si no voy' - 'no debo ir'. 'eğer gitmezsem' - 'gitmemeli miyim'.

Wrong again! But ¡Te equivocas otra vez!

if you can give me an example, si puede darme un ejemplo, Eğer bana bir örnek verebilirseniz,

I'll give you twenty points.

Should I get this correct, I will receive 20 points! debería|||||||recibiré| Si acierto, recibiré 20 puntos. Bunu doğru yaparsam, 20 puan alacağım!

Well done!

Twenty points to Levington.

Oh!

I'm sorry…did you think I was talking to you? Özür dilerim... Seninle konuştuğumu mu sandın?

Never mind! ¡No importa! Boş ver!

And that brings us to the end of today's ||nos lleva|||||| Y esto nos lleva al final del día de hoy. Ve bu da bizi bugünün sonuna getiriyor.
