🚦 Grammar B1-8: First conditional: consolidation

The consolidation material for the first conditional, built on what A2-30 installed: if + present, will + plain verb. That law is restated once, loudly — the condition half wears the present after if, unless and when, and will never enters it, not even hidden inside ’ll — and then the machine gets its B1 upgrades. Unless is taught as an if with the not already swallowed: a compare-and-verdict pair sets Unless you hurry against If you don’t hurry, a worked run converts an if…not sentence step by step, and the double negative — unless you don’t — is hunted through the practice, the repairs and the traps. A five-row table opens up the result half: will for confident predictions, might for chances, can for doors that open, should for advice, and the bare imperative for instructions, each with what it adds. A second compare draws the if / when line — when for events that are guaranteed with only their time unknown, if for events that may never happen — including the accidental promise of When I fail my test. A shapes table covers order and comma, negatives split between the halves (doesn’t in the condition, won’t in the result), questions and short answers. Jade’s 120-word message planning the class trip to Whitecliff carries fourteen tappable choices; practice runs to thirty-two explained multiple-choice items in four sets, twelve fragments sorted into condition half against result half, six real learner errors repaired, and three traps. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the door-and-menu board move, the unroll-the-not rescue, and Cambridge B1 Preliminary relevance.
