Let's continue with a listening activity. Here's a song containing examples of first conditional sentences, the first grammar point we are going to deal with. You'll probably recognize the song when you hear it.

Listen to the lyrics and complete the gaps:


If You Leave Me Now (Chicago)

If you leave me now, you'll away the biggest part of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll away the very heart of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
Uh uh uh uh girl I just want you to

A love like ours is love that's hard to
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow and we'll both regret
The things we today

(Guitar Solo)

A love like ours is love that's hard to
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow and we'll both regret
The things we today

If you leave me now, you'll away the biggest part of me
Uh uh uh uh no baby please don't go
Uh girl, just got to have you by my side

Uh uh uh uh no baby, please don't go

Oh mama, I just got to have your lovin', yeah
