Meaning and form

In a first conditional, use if + present simple, then a modal + base verb for a possible result or advice: If you feel tired, you should take a break. Can expresses ability/permission, may possibility, must necessity and should advice. Do not normally put will in the if-clause.

From rule to accurate use

Start with the intended meaning, then identify the subject and verb pattern.

Worked example 1: If you feel overwhelmed, you ___ ask a trusted adult for help.

Answer and reasoning: should Should is followed by base verb ask.

Worked example 2: If Nam {{1}} regularly, he may feel more energetic. (exercise)

Answer and reasoning: If Nam exercises regularly, he may feel more energetic. (exercise) Present simple in the if-clause; Nam takes-s.

Apply the rule to a new sentence rather than memorising only the answer.
