Lesson 3B 

Can you make predictions in English? Hoe zeg je dat ... 

* je volgende week je verjaardag viert?

* je geen klasgenoten uitnodigt?

* je er vrij zeker van bent dat je oom uit Australië niet komt? 

* je heel misschien een nieuwe fiets krijgt?

* je misschien geen Iphone krijgt?

Write this in your notebook

1. To make predictions -> 100% sure: use will/won't + infinitive 

                Scientists will be able to print human organs.

2. To make predictions ->  use 'I think' / 'probably' / 'I'm sure' etc.

                I doubt they will find a cure for hair loss.

3. To talk about possibility in the future -> 50% or less sure:                                  may/may not, might/might not, could + infinitive

           They may/might/could find a cure within the next 5 years.

it/snow/tomorrow

First conditional (write this down)

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

               if + present simple,  will + infinitive (hele ww.)

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

Example: If we go to London in October, it may/might/could rain.

           So, instead of 'will' you can also use 'may/might/could'

"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
