I am going to post 14 sentences and you have to

pick one, finish it (your own choice) and translate it.

Pick any sentence you wish any amount of times you wishwink

One sentence per post!

Remember:

In English and Spanish the same: Present + present or future ( also imperative, can, must etc ), try to use all possible combinations.

Finish the sentences

If I have a holiday next week

If I see a car accident

If I become Prime Minister

If your parents give you 100€

If there is a fire in your house

If I find a wallet full of money in the street

If I meet my favourite football-player

If I have a million dollars

If I live on the coast

If I go to New York

If I have more time

If I pass all my exams

If I find a spider in my bed

If I see a rat in the kitchen
