"If you tolerate this" is a song by the Manic Street Preachers. This song uses the 1st conditional. The 1st conditional is also called the future conditional because it is for events in the future. The structure looks like this: If + Subject + Verb(present) + Subject + Verb(future) Examples: If you go to the party, you will meet my boyfriend. If she arrive son time, we will start at 9:00am. If they work tomorrow, we won't go to the park. In this song, the singer is talking about the future and what will happen if people continue to act the same way as they do now. Notice how the chorus uses the grammar structure: If you tolerate this, your children will be next. Here is the music video, and the lyrics are below.
