1st#CONDITIONAL#Real#Situations#

Conditionals means “situations or circumstance”

If a particular condition is true, then a particular result happens.

First Condtional= Real If + condition + result If + simple present + future will Examples: If he sees Diego, he will tell him If it snows today, I’ll stay at home If we are free, what will you do?

Note: This conditional is real. It means we are talking about the future. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. Ex. It’s morning. You’re at home. You plan to play soccer later. But it’s dark and there are some clouds in the sky. Let’s suppose it rains. (It isn’t raining yet) What will you do?

Note: Will can be substituted by can, shall or may. Ex: If I forget my keys, I may stay out.

Justin Drew Bieber is a famous 16-year-old Canadian pop singer,

songwriter and musician. He was born in London, Ontario, on March

1st, 1994, but he was raised in Stratford, a city on the Avon River in

Southwestern Ontario. Justin’s mother is Pattie Mallette. She is 35

years old. His father is Jeremy Bieber and he is 36. They got divorced

when he was 2 years old. Justin has got a step sister, Jazmyn Bieber,

and a step brother, Jaxon Bieber. Jazmin is 2 years old and Jaxon is only

10 months old.

Justin plays several musical instruments. He started playing the drums at the age of 4,

after his mom bought him a drum set, and then at 7 he had piano lessons. When he was

10, he learned how to play the guitar and he started playing the trumpet when he was in

middle school. Justin also has a beautiful voice. In 2007, at the age of 12, he won the

second place in his hometown singing contest called the Stratford Star. Justin Bieber's

proud mom posted a video of the competition on YouTube for their family and friends to

see. The video became a hit. Scooter Brown, a talent agent, watched the video and took

Justin to an audition with Usher. This was the first step towards stardom. One Time is

Justin Bieber’s most popular song, followed by Love me and Baby.

pencils, felt pens, exercise-books, rubbers, rulers, comics, coats, pullovers,
