&lt;p&gt;Please tell me what&amp;nbsp;I should say in this siutation? Are the sentences all correct? All first conditional?&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;T aoubt the third one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Situation Scenario: He has a young&amp;nbsp;son sitting in front of him and making a lot&amp;nbsp;of noise. He wants&amp;nbsp;him to be quitt but he&amp;nbsp;doesn&amp;#39;t listen to him.&amp;nbsp;The father tells the kid that if he persists on causing a ruckus, he will call his mother&amp;nbsp;and says this to the son:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If&amp;nbsp;I call your mother, son, you might have&amp;nbsp;no present for your party tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I call your mother, son,&amp;nbsp;it is likely you will not get a present for your party tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I call your mother, son, no, no&amp;nbsp;present for your party tomorrow very likely.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
