| comment | Conditionals are sentences with two clauses – an ‘if clause’ and a ‘main clause’ – that are closely related. There are different types of conditions. Some are possible or likely, others are unlikely or even impossible.In the test sentence ‘If the weather ______ (to be) fine next Sunday, we _______ (to go) to the park.’ we are given the time-marker ‘next Sunday’, therefore, this sentence expresses an imagined future situation and shows that we believe the imagined situation is quite likely (It is possible or likely that the weather will be fine next Sunday.). When we talk about real and possible situations, we use the first conditional. In first conditional sentences, the structure is usually if + present simple (an imagined future situation) and will (or shall, should, would, can, could, may, might) + infinitive (a future result): If it’s a nice day tomorrow,we’ll go to the beach. Therefore, in the test we are to choose ANSWER 1. |
