Clause Construction: Completing First Conditional Sentences Quiz

The 'if-clause' (condition) must use the simple present tense. Since the subject 'she' is singular, the verb 'have' changes to 'has.'

The condition is introduced by 'If,' so it must be in the simple present tense. Since the subject 'they' is plural, the base form 'arrive' is correct.

This is true. 'Going to' is a grammatically acceptable and common way to express future results or intentions in the first conditional structure.

Needs,' 'are,' and 'turns' are all correct simple present tense forms used appropriately in the 'if-clause.' 'Will come' is future tense, which is incorrect here.

This is false. The simple present is used in the if-clause (condition), but the condition clause can come first or second in the sentence.

This is false. The word 'will' is never used in the 'if-clause' of a first conditional sentence. The correct tense for the condition is the simple present: If it rains.

A, B, and D all correctly pair the simple present tense in the 'if-clause' with the future tense ('will'/'will not') in the main clause. C incorrectly uses 'will' in the 'if-clause.'

The main clause (result) requires the future tense structure: 'will' plus the base form of the verb 'answer.'

The condition clause requires the simple present tense. The simple present tense form of the verb 'to be' for the singular subject 'traffic' is 'is.'

The main clause (result) expresses a probable future consequence, requiring the future tense 'will get.'

The 'if-clause' (condition) uses the simple present tense. Since the subject is 'I,' the base form 'take' is correct.

The main clause (result) requires the future tense, 'will turn into steam,' to show the certain consequence of the boiling condition.

The result clause uses the future tense. 'Will send' is the standard future tense, and 'is going to send' is a grammatically correct alternative to express future intention or probability.

The result clause needs the future tense structure. The result clause requires 'will' + base verb. The complete phrase is 'will meow.'

The 'if-clause' must use the simple present tense. Since the subject 'it' is singular, the verb 'rain' must be 'rains.'

The result clause must be in the future tense, 'will buy,' to indicate the reward that is probable if the condition of good behavior is met.

The result clause requires the future tense negative: 'will not' or 'won't' plus the base verb. 'Will not arrive' (or 'won't arrive') is the correct future tense verb phrase.

The main clause (result) requires the future tense structure: 'will' plus the base form of the verb 'help.'

The first conditional requires the simple present tense in the 'if-clause' (we study) and the future tense (will + base verb) in the main clause.

This is false. The first conditional requires the future tense ('will go') in the main clause to show a probable future result, not the simple present tense ('go'). (This is actually the zero conditional.)
