 FIRST CONDITIONAL
If future

The first conditional helps you express a hypothetical action that might be possible
to happen.

Keep in mind:
Most tenses are possible in sentences with if.

Examples:
If you're happy, I’m happy.
He won't come tomorrow if he came yesterday.
If you've been to Paris, you’ve seen the Eiffel Tower.

Keep in mind:
But after if, we normally use a coma to talk about the future.

Examples:
If it is sunny tomorrow, we'll eat in the garden.
I'll phone you if I hear from Alice.
I'll be sorry if I fail this exam.

You have 5 to 10 minutes to answer each of the following exercises.

My future plans

I’m studying at a University in Bogota, Colombia. I'm a Public Administration student and
now, I'm thinking about my future as a public administrator. Well, if I pass all my subjects, I
will graduate next Christmas. But if I fail this semester, I will graduate next year in June, I
guess. Let's be very positive and think that if I graduate next X-mas I will look for a job at
the Council of Bogota, where there is a friend of mine working there. If I get the job, I will
work very hard helping the mayor in the health, food, subway, transportation, housing, and
education projects and all the programs that he is running now.
If I have the opportunity, one day I'll be a candidate for the Mayor's office position in
Bogota, and if I become the Mayor of the city, I will build more public schools and

universities. I will offer free transportation to all the students. And I will lower the costs of
private schools and universities, so more students will get benefitted with this project. I will
also create more free restaurants for the poor people of my city. Well, these are my
dreams for the future and meanwhile I have to return to the English exam and I will see if I
pass the exams.

HOW I WOULD LIKE TO SPEND MY BIRTHDAY

My birthday falls on February 23, in the middle of winter. On that day, I generally go out
to dinner and to the theater with a few friends and, I usually receive some thoughtful
presents from them.
If I could spend my birthday as I like, I would invite about ten friends to a birthday party at
my house in the evening. I would serve champagne and we would toast each other on
the ocassion. We would talk about happy things, dance, play amusing games, and
entertain each other. At about eleven o'clock I would serve a light supper. Then I would
cut the birthday cake and give each of my guests a piece while they sang "Happy
Birthday." After supper, I would play the guitar for them and we would all sing together.
When it was time to leave, I would give each of my friends a gift of something I knew he
wanted, a book, a record, or tickets to a play. This way I would try to express how much
pleasure their friendship gives me.

Thoughtful: attentive
Toast: a drink in honour of a person or event
