Click submit to find out if your answers are correct.&nitem=6&i6_hint=The first conditional expresses the result of a situation in the future IF another event comes true. There is always an element of doubt.&i6_cvalue=3&i6_risposta3=Definitely not.&i6_risposta2=Maybe.&i6_risposta1=Yes, of course.&i6_nrisposte=3&i6_domanda=Do you use the first conditional if you are absolutely sure about an event in the future?&i5_hint=We always use this form in the second clause of the sentence. The first form or infinitive means the verb in its original form.&i5_cvalue=1&i5_risposta3=Past simple&i5_risposta2=Present simple&i5_risposta1=Will plus first form (infinitive)&i5_nrisposte=3&i5_domanda=In the part of the sentence without 'if', what tense do you use in the first conditional?&i4_hint=In the first conditional, we always use this tense after 'if'.&i4_cvalue=2&i4_risposta3=Will plus first form (infinitive)&i4_risposta2=Present simple&i4_risposta1=Past simple&i4_nrisposte=3&i4_domanda=What tense do you use after 'if' in the first conditional?&i3_hint=If the sentence begins with 'If' we must use this punctuation, but if the sentence starts with the second clause including 'will', we do not use any punctuation.&i3_cvalue=1&i3_risposta3=A full stop&i3_risposta2=A colon&i3_risposta1=A comma&i3_nrisposte=3&i3_domanda=If the sentence begins with 'If', what punctuation must you use in the middle of the sentence?&i2_hint=The first conditional refers to a future possibility, but it is also highly likely possibility. &i2_cvalue=2&i2_risposta3=25%25&i2_risposta2=80%25&i2_risposta1=0%25&i2_nrisposte=3&i2_domanda=How likely (sure) is a situation expressed in the first conditional?&i1_hint=The team at J@M are thinking about what will happen if Mario gives them the contract, so they are thinking about a future possibility. Sometimes the tenses can be confusing as in this sentence the present simple has been used. However, the meaning of the sentence refers to the future. &i1_cvalue=3&i1_risposta3=Future&i1_risposta2=Present&i1_risposta1=Past&i1_nrisposte=3&i1_domanda=What time does the first conditional refer to?&
