جلسه 2
When a baby is on the way, everyone has a lot of advice. We listen to some friends advising a mother to be, and then hear her making some plans for the coming months.
Making plans
Sue has only just found out she is pregnant, but she has already been making plans. Do you think they are all good ideas?

Sue
My sister will come and stay when Harry's away on business.
When we find out if it's a boy or girl, we'll choose a name.
I'll start doing pregnancy yoga when I enter the second trimester.
When my waters break, I'll call the doctor straight away.
When our baby's born, I hope Harry will be there.
I'll sing the baby songs when I'm breastfeeding.
When the baby is eight weeks old, we'll put it in its own room to sleep.
when + will
All of the plans are in the first conditional and use when + will. We use the first conditional to talk about possible future situations (or 'conditions') and their results. In activity 1, you saw use 'if' for things we think are likely to happen. In Sue's plans she uses when for things she thinks are certain to happen.
A conditional sentence usually has two parts: the when part and the result (main) part. For the first conditional we use the present simple in the when part, and will + infinitive (without to) in the main part.
The two parts can be in any order. When the when part comes first, we put a comma between the when and the main part. We don't use a comma when the main part comes first.
When I get home, I'll cook dinner.
I'll cook dinner when I get home.
It's certain that I will get home. I will then cook dinner.
Negative
When I get home, I won’t watch TV.
We will not be here when you visit on Friday.
