Grammar review

Might / might not Unit 11

Might (might not) has the same form for all persons. It is a conditional and expresses
possibility in the future.
It might rain or it might not, I don’t know.

If clauses (First conditional) Unit 12

The first conditional (or type one) sentence expresses what will probably happen if a certain
situation comes true. It consists of an if-clause expressing a condition and a main clause
expressing the consequence determined by the if-clause:
If it rains, I will stay at home.

The verb in the if-clause is in the Present simple; the verb in the main clause is in the future
with will.
The meaning does not change if the main clause comes before the if-clause:
I will stay at home if it rains.
In this case we don’t put a comma between the main clause and the if-clause.

Both the if-clause and the main clause can be positive or negative:
If it doesn’t rain, I won’t stay at home.
Short answers follow the general rule:
Will you stay at home if it rains?
Yes, I will / No, I won’t.
