Question

Fill in the gaps with the right form of the verbs given to make either the First or the Second conditional. You …. fatter if you ate chips every day. (get)

Answer 1

You would get fatter if you ate chips every day.

Answer 2

First conditional deals with a real possibility in the present or future, while the Second conditional talks about an unreal or unlikely situation in the present or future. Let's complete the sentence using the appropriate form of the verb "get" for each condition:

First conditional: "You will get fatter if you eat chips every day."

Second conditional: "You would get fatter if you ate chips every day."

Explanation:

1. First conditional (real possibility): This construction implies a cause-and-effect relationship in the future. If the condition (eating chips every day) is fulfilled, the result (getting fatter) is likely to happen.

2. Second conditional (unreal or unlikely situation): Here, we're talking about a hypothetical or unreal situation in the present or future. The condition (eating chips every day) is presented as something unlikely or not currently true, and the result (getting fatter) is the imagined outcome in this scenario.
