 Zero conditional is used when the result will always happen. The ‘if’ in this conditional can usually
be replaced by ‘when’ without changing the meaning. It is used to make statements about the real
world and often refers to general truths, such as scientific facts. In this sentences, the time is now or
always the situation is real and possible.
We can make conditional sentences with two present simple verbs; one in the ‘if clause ‘ and
one in the ‘result clause’.
