First Conditional: A real possibility in the future A First Conditional sentence is for future actions dependent on the result of another future action or event, where there is a reasonable possibility of the conditions for the action being satisfied. Formation: if + present simple, + will For example: If she gets good grades, she will go to university.

For example: I Condition Result Possibility F she gets good she will go to If the condition is met, then she definitely If grades, university. will go he gets good he may go to If He is not sure about g...

IF Clauses (the condition) • IF clauses present the condition. • Examples: If I go into town tomorrow… If he spoke Chinese… If they had been faster… THEN Clauses (the results) • THEN clauses present the results. • Examples: … then I will see a movie. …. then he would work as a guide in China. … then they would have won the race.

E.g., If/When you mix blue and red, you get purple.

Expository passages where we develop an opening sentence (without attempting to prove it). ● There are two types of elephants: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. African elephant has large ears and both females and males have tusks. The Asian elephant has smaller ears and only males develop tusks. Conditional statements of the form “if...then…”. ● If it rains, then I will take my umbrella. Conditional itself is not an argument. Conditionals are formed by an Antecendent (‘it rains’) and a Consequent (‘I will take my umbrella’). The antecendent is a sufficient condition for the consequent while the consequent is a necessary condition for the antecendent. A (antecendent) then B (consequent). If A happens, B has to happen! Umbrella is necessary for the rain. If I take my umbrella, it’s not necessary that it rains.
3. Conditional sentences. It is common to talk about the First, Second, and Third Conditional: Conditional I If I see John, I'll tell him. Kui ma näen Johni, siis ütlen ta Conditional II If I saw John, I would tell him. Kui ma näeksin Johni, siis ma ütleksin talle. Conditional III If I had seen John, I would have told him. Kui ma oleksin näinud Johni, siis ma oleksin talle öelnud. Other patterns 1 It is common to use modals in conditionals: If only you'd asked me, I would have lent you the money! If you must smoke, do it outside, please. If you want my opinion, I'd sell the car and buy something more reliable. 2 Some conditionals use the present simple in both parts If it rains, the water comes in through the roof. A good rule is to avoid using `would' in the if-clause. This is almost always true. Translate: 26

a very large range of possible correct answers. Truth-Condition Theories: Davidson's program 119 A second rejoinder The difficulty about lack of truth-value is not confined to nondeclarative sentences. For one thing, it has been argued that certain grammatically declarative sentences lack truth conditions and have only epistemic "assert- ibility" conditions. Most notably, Adams (1965) and others have defended the view that indicative conditionals lack truth conditions and truth-value. Moreover, some philosophers hold (following the Positivists) that certain grammatically declarative sentences are not fact-stating even though they might be taken by the naive to be so. According to the emotivists in moral philosophy, moral judgments are only evincings or ventings, semantically just like groans, grunts of protest, cheers, and the like. If so, then such "factually defective" sentences do not have truth-values
