Zero Conditional


Using of Zero Conditional The zero conditional is used to talk about things which are always true — such as scientific facts and general truths.


Examples!!! ● If you cross an international date line, the time changes. (This always happens) ● If it rains, the grass gets wet.(This is basically true) ● Wood doesn't burn if there is no air.(This is a scientific fact)


Structure A zero conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an “if� clause and a main clause. Both clauses are in present simple There are two ways to do it.


● “if” Clause Main Clause

If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils. ● Main Clause “if” Clause

It boils if you heat water to 100 degrees.

â—? If clause: If + Subject + Simple present verb + etc

â—? Mail Clause: Subject + Simple present verb + etc
