Ray: We're not going to get a better offer than that. If you take my advice, you'll
accept it.

Dave: I'm not so sure. If we hang on a few more days, I think we'll get other offers.

Ray: Perhaps you are right. If you want, I'll tell Jagger that we need time to think it
over. When he hears that, he'll be a bit impatient but I'm sure that if I talk to him
sweetly enough he'll hold on and not look elsewhere. If things are looking a bit dicey,
I'll get back to you.

Dave: So, if I don't hear from you, I'll assume everything is fine.

Ray: Yep. I'll only call you if I think there is a problem.

Dave: So unless I hear from you, I have no need to worry.

Conclusions:

1. The basic form of the first conditional is:

 Pedro Omar Chambi Mamani
AMI 06

If clause, + main clause

2. Structure used to talk about possibilities in the present or in the future.

3. The if clause goes with a verb in Present Simple and the main clause goes with
WILL + Base Verb.

4. The only thing that changes when we write the main clause first and the if
clause last, is that we do not have to draw the comma (,).
