Grammar review

would + rather / prefer Unit 3

To express a preference, add the words rather or prefer:
Would you like to come to the cinema with me tomorrow?
No, not to the cinema. I would prefer to go to the shopping centre.

Would you like some tea?
No, thanks. I would rather have some hot chocolate.

First conditional Unit 4

First conditional sentences express what will happen if a certain situation comes true. They
consist of an if-clause expressing a condition and a main clause expressing the consequence:
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. If it rains, we won’t go to the park.

It is possible to have a conditional sentence with the interrogative form of the main clause:
Will you stay at home if it rains?

Short answers Unit 4

Short answers follow the general rule:
If you find my phone, will you call me?
Yes, I will. / No, I won’t.
