Mark __/5
- In zero conditional sentences, we use the present simple in both clauses to talk about general truths or habits. If the alarm clock plays soft music, the person won't wake up.
2. Put those plants in the sun. If they don't get enough light, they will die.
- Again, in zero conditional sentences, we use the present simple in both clauses. If the plants don't get enough light, they will die.
3. Mum gets annoyed if Dad does the shopping. He buys junk food.
- Here, we are talking about a habitual action. If Dad does the shopping, Mum gets annoyed because he buys junk food.
4. If you don't drink enough water, you will get a headache.
- The verb "to drink" is in the negative form to indicate the condition that leads to getting a headache.
5. If you don't have the right password, you won't have access to the website.
- In this sentence, the negatives "not have" and "not access" indicate the consequence of not having the right password.
4. Correct the sentences.
1. I may go to the swimming pool after school.
- The word "may" is used to express possibility, and the "to" after "may" is unnecessary.
2. Run! We might miss the train.
- The verb "might" is used to express possibility, and the correct form is "miss" (verb in the base form) after "might."
3. Let’s go for a walk. It might not rain.
- The phrase "could not rain" is changed to "might not rain" to express the possibility of no rain.
4. Mum’s tired. She might not go to the cinema.
- The verb "might" is followed by the base form of the verb, so "doesn't" is changed to "not go."
5. Let’s call Kasia. She might be at home by now.
- The verb "could" is replaced with "might," and "to" is not needed before "be."
