Which claim about the 1st conditional do you think is correct? :)

• the structure of the 1st conditional is:

  if + present simple + will + infinitive

• the 1st conditional is used for possible present or future consequences

• "if" clause can be at the beginning or in the middle of sentence

• present simple, continuous or perfect tense can stand in the "if" clause

• none

The first conditional uses .......... in the conditional clause and ........ in the main clause

• "if" in the conditional clause and "would" in the main clause

• "if" in the conditional clause and "could" in the main clause

• "if" in the conditional clause and "will" in the main clause

• "if" in the conditional clause and "have to" in the main clause

We can sometime use "will" in the conditional clause as in "If Sean will keep trusting you, he won't get any points."

• True

• False

The reason for using so called "double will" in the 1st conditional is when the speaker is

• sad

• happy

• insitent or irritated

• content

To make the 1st conditional more formal, we can use ........ instead of "if" and ........ instead of "don't" in the negative

• should, should not

• can, won't
• might, doesn't
• would, isn't
