A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Prepare the practice page and reserve the key. Review if + present simple and will + base verb for these possible future situations.

  1. Model the rain-and-stay sentence, then compare a result clause placed first. Identify which gap belongs to the condition.
  2. Complete the items, checking does not hurry, studies, has and the question order What will you do?
  3. Review page 2 and explain the clause pattern, not just individual verbs. Practise one completed question orally.

Support and extension

Support by marking condition and result in different colours. Extend with an original future plan; in this exercise's ordinary condition clauses, avoid adding will after if.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
