Feedback Conditionals are sentences with two clauses – an ‘if clause’ and a ‘main clause’ – that are closely related. There are different types of conditions. Some are possible or likely, others are unlikely or even impossible.For the test sentence ‘He ________ (to fall) ill if he _________ (to eat) so much ice-cream.’ we are given four variants of ANSWERS, but all include ‘will’ (will fall, will eat) and ‘eat’ or ‘fall’ (eats, falls) indifferent combinations, therefore, this sentence expresses an imagined future situation (It is possible or likely that he will fall ill because of so much ice-cream.). When we talk about real and possible situations, we use the first conditional. In first conditional sentences, the structure is usually if + present simple (an imagined future situation) and will (or shall, should, would, can, could, may, might) + infinitive (a future result): I fit’s a nice day tomorrow, we’ll go to the beach. Therefore, in the test we are to choose ANSWER 2: will fall/eats.
C. will fall/will eat
D. falls/eats
