The Museo is a part of the neighborhood, and they preserved cultural artifacts while leaving them in their real context (surroundings that exist around a particular area).

First Conditional & Future Time Clauses

We use first conditional sentences to talk about a possible future situation and its consequence.

First Conditional Examples:

• If you work hard, you'll pass your exams.
• The boss won't be very pleased if we're late for the meeting.
• Come and see us next week if you have time.
• Allison won't get into university unless she gets good grades.
• I won't go unless you go too.

Rules for First Conditional:

• We use the present tense (NOT the future) after 'if' in first conditional sentences.
• We can also use an imperative instead of the 'will' clause.
• We can use 'unless' instead of 'if...not' in conditional sentences.
  • Example: She won't get into university unless she gets good grades / if she doesn't
