Lesson eight - First Conditional/ Idiomatic expressions

As I told you before , there are in the american language three structures to create conditional sentences. Let's kick the ball rolling by studying the first one. It is formed by the simple present and simple future. In all conditional sentences you will see the word "IF" that means "SE". Take a look on the sentences below and see how it works.

Como já foi dito antes, existem no idioma americano três estruturas para frases condicionais. Vamos começar aprendendo a primeira condicional. Ela é formada pelos tempos presente simples e futuro simples. Em todas as frases condicionais aparecem a palavrinha IF que significa SE. Observe as frases abaixo e veja como funciona a estrutura da primeira condicional:

................................................................................................
**If you study every week , you will learn English in two years.
...............................................................................................
**You will learn English in two years, if you study every week.
..................................................................................................

###Uma frase condicional é dividida em duas partes separadas por vírgula.
       A conditional sentence is divided by two parts separeted by a comma.
................................................................................................

###Na primeira condicional uma frase está no presente simples e depois da 
vírgula a outra está no futuro simples, ou vice e versa.
       In the first conditional or if clause a sentence begins in the simple present and ends in the simple future or in the inverse order.

###Nas frases negativas os auxiliares devem estar abreviados. (doesn't/don't/won't)
In the negative statements you should abbreviate the auxiliars.
..............................................................................................

###As frases podem ser afirmativas, negativas ou interrogativas.

       sentences can be affirmative, negative and interrogative.

1- Smell a Rat

Elias = How come the front door is opened? Didn't  you close it before we went to bed ? 

Bruna = I'm sure I did  daddy . I can't understand it. Frankly, I smell a rat.

Danielle = Me, too. I'm convinced that something is definitely wrong here. We'd better call the police.

**** When somebody smells a rat actually he knows that something it's wrong.  For instance, Danielle  is supposed to be home around 11pm after the college but it's almost midnight and she didn't make a call yet. Danielle likes things working like clockwork. It smells a rat! Something is definitely wrong.

2- Let the cat out of the Bag

  J.B.was going to retire from teaching in June, and the students were planning on doing a big party to celebrate his career.  He wasn't supposed to know about it, but someone let the cat out of the bag. At the party J.B acted surprised, even though someone had told him what he was getting before the celebration..

**** There are people that can't keep a secret. You better don't tell them anything. Their tongues are bigger than their minds. If you tell them you really told to the world.

3- Straight From the Horse's Mouth

*** Hey Elias, how did you find out that I am single again ?

___ I got the information from a very reliable source.

***You mean Andrelina told you so herself?

___That's right. I got it straight from the horse's mouth!

***  Who told you that? This is the question when you know that your secret was discovered. There are many ways for you getting an information. You can get it by reading the newspaper or listening to the radio, or talking to a friend ...and on. But when you know it straight from the source ...your source is totally reliable ...just because you got it straight from the horse's mouth
