Let's solve this grammar exercise step by step! 🎯

The task requires us to put the verbs in brackets into either Future Simple or Present Simple tense. Let's analyze each sentence:

  1. "If it rains, we (not go) out."
    Answer: "won't go" (Future Simple because it's the result clause of a first conditional)

  2. "It's cold! I (turn on) the heating."
    Answer: "will turn on" (Future Simple for immediate decision)

  3. "If the weather (be) good, we'll go on a picnic."
    Answer: "is" (Present Simple because in first conditional, we use present simple in the if-clause)

  4. "You can ask John that question when he (come)."
    Answer: "comes" (Present Simple because 'when' clause refers to future but uses present simple)

  5. "I think Manchester (win) the match."
    Answer: "will win" (Future Simple for prediction)

  6. "Maybe I (be) a writer when I grow up."
    Answer: "will be" (Future Simple for future plans)

  7. "If I (hear) anything about the accident, I'll let you know."
    Answer: "hear" (Present Simple in the if-clause of first conditional)

  8. "He always (lock) the door when he leaves for work."
    Answer: "locks" (Present Simple for habitual action)

Key rules to remember:
- Use Present Simple in time clauses (after when, before, after, as soon as)
- Use Present Simple in if-clauses when talking about possible future situations
- Use Future Simple (will) in main clauses of first conditionals
- Use Present Simple for habits and regular actions

}

Let's solve this exercise step by step! 🎯

The task asks us to choose between "one" or "ones" to fill in the gaps. Here's how to solve each sentence:

  1. "This digital camera is old. I need a new one."
    Answer: "one"
    Explanation: We use "one" because we're referring to a single camera.

  2. "The new smartphones are much faster than the old ones."
    Answer: "ones"
    Explanation: We use "ones" because we're referring to multiple smartphones (plural).

  3. "Which is your tablet, the black one or the white one?"
    Answer: "one" (in both gaps)
    Explanation: We use "one" because we're referring to a single tablet each time.

Remember these rules:
- Use "one" to replace a singular noun
- Use "ones" to replace a plural noun
- These words help us avoid repeating the same noun unnecessarily

This is a common way to make our English more natural and avoid unnecessary repetition! 📝

"keywords": ["one ones usage", "conditional sentences", "verb forms", "present simple", "English grammar", "if clauses"]
}

Let's solve this exercise in parts! 🎯

First, let's complete the "one/ones" sentences (4-5):
4. "My brother wants new headphones as a New Year present, he has lost his old ones."
Answer: "ones" (because headphones is plural)

  1. "If you buy two computer games, you get a third one free."
    Answer: "one" (because we're referring to a single game)

Now, let's solve exercise 6 with the correct verb forms:

  1. "Ice turns (turn) to water if you heat it."
    Answer: Present Simple because it's a scientific fact/general truth

  2. "If he reads (read) in bad light, he will ruin his eyes."
    Answer: Present Simple in the if-clause for conditional

  3. "If she needs (need) a dictionary, she can borrow mine."
    Answer: Present Simple for conditional possibility

  4. "If today is Friday, tomorrow will be (be) Saturday."
    Answer: Future with 'will' because it's a logical future consequence

  5. "If he is (be) late, we will go (go) without him."
    Answer: "is" in if-clause (Present Simple) and "will go" in main clause (Future Simple)

  6. [Sentence incomplete in image]

Remember these rules:
- Use Present Simple for facts and general truths
- In first conditional sentences:
* Use Present Simple in the if-clause
* Use will + verb in the main clause
- Time expressions like "tomorrow" often require future forms

}

Let's solve these exercises step by step! 🎯

First part (using one/ones):
4. "My brother wants new headphones as a New Year present, he has lost his old ones"
- We use "ones" because headphones is plural
- Remember: Use "ones" to replace plural nouns

  1. "If you buy two computer games, you get a third one free"
    - We use "one" because we're referring to a single game
    - Remember: Use "one" to replace singular nouns

Second part (verb forms):
1. "Ice turns to water if you heat it"
- Use Present Simple (turns) because this is a scientific fact
- Remember: Present Simple is used for general truths

  1. "If he reads in bad light, he will ruin his eyes"
    - First conditional structure:
    - If + Present Simple (reads) + will + base form (ruin)

  2. "If she needs a dictionary, she can borrow mine"
    - Present Simple (needs) in if-clause
    - Modal verb (can) in main clause

  3. "If today is Friday, tomorrow will be Saturday"
    - Present Simple (is) in if-clause
    - Will + be in the result clause because it's about the future

Key Rules:
- Use Present Simple for facts and general truths
- In first conditional: If + Present Simple, will + base form
- Time expressions like "tomorrow" often need future forms

}

Let's complete the remaining sentences! 🎯

  1. "If he is (be) late, we will go (go) without him."
    - First conditional structure:
    - If + Present Simple (is) + will + base form (go)

  2. "Unless you are more careful, you will have (have) problems with this work."
    - "Unless" means the same as "if not"
    - Use Present Simple after unless
    - Use will + base form in the main clause

  3. "If I tell you a secret, will you promise (promise) not to tell it to anyone else?"
    - Question form of first conditional
    - "tell" is in Present Simple
    - "will you promise" is the question form with future will

Key Grammar Rules:
1. First Conditional Structure:
- If + Present Simple, will + base form
- Used for real possible situations

  1. Unless = If not:
    - Use Present Simple after unless
    - Same structure as first conditional

  2. Questions in First Conditional:
    - Can start with "If"
    - Use "will" in the question part

Remember: These structures are used to talk about real possibilities in the present or future! 📝
