Q1 15
Question 1: If it rains tomorrow, we ___ the picnic.
Question 1 options
Check answer
'will cancel' is correct because in the first conditional, the main clause uses 'will + base verb' to express a likely future result. 'cancel' is missing 'will', 'cancelled' is past tense, and 'are cancelling' is present continuous, none of which fit the first conditional main clause.

Question 2: If she ___ hard, she will pass the test.
Question 2 options
Check answer
'studies' is correct because in the first conditional, the 'if' clause requires the simple present tense. 'will study', 'studied', and 'has studied' do not follow the rule of using simple present in the 'if' clause.

Q3 15
Question 3: In a first conditional sentence, when the 'if' clause comes before the main clause, you must use a comma to separate the two clauses.
Question 3 options
Check answer
True because the rule states that a comma is used after the 'if' clause when it appears first in the sentence. When the main clause comes first, no comma is needed.

Q4 15
Question 4: Which situation correctly uses the first conditional?
Question 4 options
Check answer
The first conditional is used to talk about realistic or possible events in the present or future. Describing a real possibility — like missing the bus if you wake up late — is the correct use. The zero conditional is for general truths, the second conditional is for unlikely situations, and the third conditional is for past hypotheticals.

Question 5: Arrange the words to make a correct sentence:
Question 5 options
If you are late,
▲ ▼
without you
▲ ▼
I will leave
▲ ▼
Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.
Check answer
The correct order is 'If you are late, I will leave without you.' because the first conditional uses 'if + simple present' in the 'if' clause and 'will + base verb' in the main clause, with a comma after the 'if' clause.

Question 6: Which sentence is grammatically correct?
Question 6 options
Check answer
'If he calls, I will answer.' is correct because it uses simple present in the 'if' clause and 'will + base verb' in the main clause. The other options each have a verb form error in one of the clauses, which are common student mistakes.

Question 7: Maria: 'Are you coming to the party tonight?' Tom: 'I'm not sure. If I ___ my homework on time, I will come.'
Question 7 options
Check answer
'finish' is correct because the 'if' clause in the first conditional requires the simple present tense. 'will finish', 'finished', and 'have finished' are incorrect forms for the 'if' clause in this structure.

Q8 15
Question 8: Which sentence correctly uses the first conditional (not the second conditional)?
Question 8 options
Check answer
'If it snows tomorrow, I will stay home.' correctly uses the first conditional with simple present in the 'if' clause and 'will + base verb' in the main clause, expressing a real possibility. The other options use past simple in the 'if' clause, which is the second conditional form for unlikely situations.

Question 9: Put the words in the correct order:
Question 9 options
help
▲ ▼
I will call you
▲ ▼
I need
▲ ▼
if
▲ ▼
Drag items or use arrows to arrange them in the correct order.
Check answer
The correct order is 'I will call you if I need help.' because when the main clause comes first in the first conditional, no comma is used, and the structure is 'subject + will + verb' followed by 'if + subject + simple present'.

Q10 15
Question 10: If the weather is nice this weekend, we ___.
Question 10 options
Check answer
'will go to the beach' is correct because the first conditional main clause uses 'will + base verb' to express a likely future result. 'go to the beach' is missing 'will', 'went to the beach' is past tense, and 'would go to the beach' belongs to the second conditional for unlikely situations.

Q11 15
Question 11: Which statement about the first conditional is true?
Question 11 options
Check answer
The first conditional is used for situations that are realistically possible in the present or future. It always uses simple present in the 'if' clause and 'will + base verb' in the main clause. It does not use past tense or 'would' in the main clause, and it is not for impossible situations.

Q12 15
Question 12: Rewrite this sentence starting with 'If': 'Study hard and you will pass the exam.' → If you ___ the exam.
Question 12 options
Check answer
'study hard, you will pass' is correct because the first conditional structure requires simple present in the 'if' clause and 'will + base verb' in the main clause. The original imperative sentence has the same meaning as the first conditional.

Question 13: Match each sentence to the correct grammar label.
Question 13 options
If you heat ice, it melts.
If I win the prize, I will buy a new phone.
If I had more time, I would learn guitar.
If you are not ready, I'm going to leave without you.
First conditional – 'be going to' for emphasis
Zero conditional – general truth
First conditional – real future possibility
Second conditional – unlikely or imaginary situation
Select an item on the left, then tap its match on the right.
Check answer
The first conditional uses 'if + simple present + will + verb' for real future possibilities. The zero conditional uses 'if/when + simple present + simple present' for general truths. The second conditional uses 'if + past simple + would + verb' for unlikely situations. 'Be going to' can replace 'will' in the first conditional main clause to emphasize a planned result.

Q14 15
Question 14: In the first conditional, you can use 'might' instead of 'will' in the main clause to show that the future result is possible but not certain.
Question 14 options
Check answer
True because 'might' or 'may' can replace 'will' in the main clause of the first conditional when the speaker wants to express that the result is possible but not definite. This is a valid and common variation of the structure.

Q15 15
Question 15: Which sentence best expresses a real and likely possibility in the future?
Question 15 options
Check answer
'If I get the job, I will move to London.' is the first conditional, expressing a realistic future possibility. 'If I got the job, I would move' is the second conditional for an unlikely situation. 'If I had got the job, I would have moved' is the third conditional for an unreal past. 'When I get the job, I move' is not a standard conditional form.
