Speculating and predicting

 Look at the 'Learn this' box under exercise 2:

1. To talk about possibility in the future:

                            may, might, could + base form

2. Negative = may or might not

3. To make predictions we use will

4. If not sure = 'I think' or 'probably'

it/snow/tomorrow
10% chance

you/enjoy/this game
100% chance

I/pass/the exam
50% chance

She's feeling ill, so
she/go/to school tomorrow
0% chance

Let's look at exercise 3

 In the following slides, I put some of the sentences from exercise 3 and I'd like you to make your own prediction using the auxiliaries (hulpwerkwoorden) from the 'Learn This' box in exercise 2.

You move abroad

You learn to drive

You go to university

You get married

First conditional

We use the first conditional to predict the result of a future action (that can really happen)

 (subclause) if + present simple, (main clause) will + base form (hele ww.)

Example: If I win the lottery, I will buy my mom a house. 

Correct the if-clause in this sentence:
"I'll upload the phone later if I'll have time."

1. if I had time
2. if I has time
3. if I have had time
4. if I have time

Correct the main clause in this sentence: "If we stay in that cottage there couldn't be wifi.

1. "there may not be wifi."
2. "there isn't wifi."
3. "there can't be wifi"
4. "there was wifi."
