Which verb forms are used to make the first conditional? 2. Where can If go in conditional sentences?
Meaning: T asks Ss CQs to clarify the meaning: Are these actions possibilities in the future or in the past? in the future Is the condition something that can happen? Yes, it's possible Does the result depend on the condition? Yes, it does.

In the second clause: what's the first element? subject And then? verb What's the conjugation? Future will What do I use for negative statements? Subject + don't / doesn't+ vrb in simple form And for the second clause? Won't How about questions? I invert the auxiliary will and the verb goes in simple form. For example: If I study for the exam, will I pass it? Is the meaning different if I change the order? I will pass my exam If I study vs If I study, will I pass my exam? No What happens with the comma? It's used only when we start with the condition (or the If clause) Pronunciation: T explains that is necessary to emphasize when asking yes-no questions.
