Conjunctions

A conjunction is a word that "joins". A conjunction joins two parts of a sentence. Here are some example conjunctions:

We can consider conjunctions from three aspects.

Form

Conjunctions have three basic forms:

• Single Word
  for example: and, but, because, although
• Compound (often ending with as or that)
  for example: provided that, as long as, in order that
• Correlative (surrounding an adverb or adjective)
  for example: so...that

Function

Conjunctions have two basic functions or "jobs":

• Coordinating conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence that are grammatically equal. The two parts may be single words or clauses, for example:
  - Jack and Jill went up the hill.
  - The water was warm, but I didn't go swimming.
• Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:
  - I went swimming although it was cold.

Position

• Coordinating conjunctions always come between the words or clauses that they join.
• Subordinating conjunctions usually come at the beginning of the subordinate clause.

Future Simple Tense

The future simple tense is often called the "will" tense because we make the future simple with the modal auxiliary verb will.

in this lesson we look at the structure and use of the future simple tense.

The auxiliary verb (will) is invariable: will

The main verb is invariable in base form: base

For negative sentences we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the auxiliary verb.

Look at these example sentences with the Future Simple tense:

Contraction with Future Simple

When we use the Future Simple in speaking, we often contract the subject and the auxiliary verb. We also sometimes do this in informal writing.

First Conditional

we are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. We use will + base verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen.

For example: 

If you study,you will pass.

If I win the lottery,I will buy a house.

If they do not come here,we'll have to go home.

If we don't hurry,we'll miss our bus.

If I have time,visit my grandmother.

If you feel sick,you go to the doctor.
