9 I try to ________ all my paper and plastic waste. A return B reuse C recycle
You can also use the present continuous or present perfect in either clause. EX: If people are wearing headphones in the street, they often don't notice other people. If you haven't been to New York, you haven't lived.
//Can we use other present tenses in zero conditional apart present simple?
You can use any present form in the if-clause (present simple, continuous, or perfect) and any future form (will, going to, future perfect, future continuous) or an imperative in the other clause. Ex: If you're not going to Jason's party, I'm not going to go either. If I haven't come back by 9.00, start dinner without me. I'll have finished in an hour if you don't disturb me.
//Can we use other tenses in first conditional apart [if+ a present tense, and a future tense in the other clause].?
Use the future continuous (will be+ verb + ing) to say that an action will be in progress at a certain time in the future. Compare: We'll have dinner at 8.00 (=we will start dinner at 8.00) We'll be having dinner at 8.00 (=at 8.00 we will already have started having dinner)
//Future continuous: When do we use it? what is the formula? Ex: Don't phone between 7.00 and 8.00 as we'll be having dinner then.
To talk about something which will probably happen in the future, we use if+ a present tense, and a future tense in the other clause.
//When do we use first conditional? What is the formula? Ex: If the photos are good, I'll send them to you.
To talk about something which is always true or always happens as a result of something else, we use if+ present simple, and the present simple in the other clause.
//When do we use zero conditional? What is the formula? If you want to be fit, you need to do some exercise every day.

I'm not going to work overtime this weekend unless I get paid for it. Take your umbrella in case it's raining when you leave work
Can you make first (or zero) conditional these expressions: as soon as, when, until, unless, before, after, and in case?
We use the future perfect (will have+ past participle) to say something will be finished before a certain time in the future.
Future perfect: Ex: The decorators will have finished painting by Tuesday, so we can move back into the flat then. //When do we use Future perfect? What is the formula of F.Pr?
When you are talking about the future, use a present tense after these expressions: as soon as, when, until, unless, before, after, and in case. This can be any present form, e.g. present simple, present continuous, present perfect. We use them instead of IF. (if + present tense)
What 'Future time clauses' do you know?
In the main clause, we can also use may, might, can, must, should instead of will. If he doesn't train harder, he may/might lose the championship. If your room is tidy, you can leave. If you want to lose weight, you must/should eat less sugary things.
What modals can we use in first conditional in the main clause apart 'will'? What do they mean?
We use in case when we do something in order to be ready for future situations / problems. I'll take an umbrella if it rains. =I won't take an umbrella if doesn't rain. I'll take an umbrella in case it rain
What the difference between if and in case?
This tense is frequently used with the time expressions by Saturday / March/ 2030, etc. or in two weeks/ months, etc. By + a time expression= at the latest. With in, you can say in six months or in six months' time.(через) Ex: The decorators will have finished painting by Tuesday, so we can move back into the flat then. The football club say that they'll have built the new stadium in six months.
What time expressions (time markers) do we use with F.Pr?
The future continuous, though often used for an action in progress at a future time, is also very commonly used as an alternative to going to or the present continuous to ask about future plans or arrangements, e.g. Will you be going out this evening?
Will you be waiting for me when I get off the train? //why do we use F.C.?
