Hello you people this is Marc, if you
haven't watched the first episode of the
first conditional I suggest watching it
first before you watch this one if you
have watched it, then you are in the
right place let's look at the examples
I'm going to buy a new TV next month
If I earn enough, if you see her over the
weekend tell her I say hello, if you can
get me a ticket I'll go to the concert
with you, you can open the window if
you're hot, before you start a new job
you should learn more about it, until I
know what's really happening I won't
tell them. In this lesson we're going to
look at again the first conditional but
this time we're going to focus on other
versions of the first conditional so
stay tuned
so this is the second episode of the
first conditional why did I make two
episodes? you will see now, we have six
other forms or variations of the first
conditional, but what is at first
conditional? a first conditional
sentence is when you want to talk about
a result that could happen if a
condition happens first, you know that in
a conditional sentence we need the
condition and the result or the result
and the condition, usually this is the
formula: if when soon as + subject +
present simple in the condition part of
the sentence and the result we have
subject then we have will and then the
infinitive let me remind you that there
are a lot of variations and in this
lesson we're going to actually talk
about them, so the first one let's look
at this formula if as soon as when etc +
subject + present simple the second part
which is a result, we have the subject +
going to + infinitive so we don't need
will, we replace it with going to let's
look at the examples, I'm going to buy a
new TV next month, if I earn enough, if I
earn enough money I mean ,so I could even
say if I earn enough money I'm going to
buy a new TV next month, another example
with going to: if you don't give that
back she's going to call the police, so
we replaced will with going to, now the
second variation of the first
conditional if as soon as when etc +
subject + present simple and then for
the result part of the sentence
plus imperative the first part is the
condition in this case if you see her
over the weekend say hello, say hello
would be the imperative we need just
imperative because the imperative
doesn't have a subject, don't
allow your children to go out, as you can
see this is a negative imperative, so
don't allow, so do not plus the verb
infinitive don't allow your children to
go out, and then the condition part would
be if they don't eat all their lunch
don't allow your children to go out if
they don't eat all their lunch, the third
variation of the first
conditional if as soon as when etc +
subject + can plus the verb and then
we have subject + will + infinitive
the examples, if you can get me a ticket
I'll go to the concert with you, or
another example, if he can speak English
well he'll get the job, so let's look at
three other variations now, are you ready
for the second part ? great ! if when as
soon as + subject + present simple the
second part which is the result subject
+ may or mind + verb when you want to
talk about possible futures, and the
examples here, you may open the window if
you're hot, or if you ask him he might
invite you to his party too, so might
here in the result, and may here in the
result okay ? just to talk about a
possible future, so another variation
would be, if when as soon as before
+ subject + present simple in the
condition, and then the variation here
would be subject + should + verb
when do we use this variation ? when you
want to give advice so for example
before you start a new job you should
learn more about it, or if he likes
watching movies he should watch them in
English, so advise the 6th variation or
in this case a reminder for you is that
we don't only use if in the condition
part of the sentence of the first
conditional, we use also before until as
soon as etc let's take a look at my two
last examples until I know what's really
happening I won't tell them, or she'll
call you as soon as she gets home, now
let's recap, in this lesson we talked
about the first conditional, we had six
variations of the first conditional, we use
the first conditional if you want to
talk about a result that could happen if
the condition happens first, let me
remind you that we use the formula if
when as soon as before until + subject +
the present simple in the condition and
in the result we use subject + may, might
imperative too, should etc plus maybe a
verb that's it for today, thank you very
much for watching I really appreciate
all your comments all your examples and
your suggestions, if you have a new
sentence for this type of first
conditional please type it under this
video, don't forget to share the video
please it's really important and
having said that, have a nice weekend and I'll see you

care bye bye
