Lesson 1 · 35 min

The first conditional

Objective

Talk about real possible results.

The lesson

The first conditional: If + present simple, will + verb. If we switch off the machines, we will save energy. The if-clause can come second: We'll save money if we recycle. Never use will after if.

Worked example

If we switch off the computers every evening, the school will save energy. If the kitchen sorts its waste, the bins will be lighter. If customers bring their own cups, the café will give them a discount. If we don't act now, it will cost more later.

Listen to the model

If + present (switch off, sorts, bring) → will + verb (will save, will be, will give).
