Zero, First, Second, and Third Conditional

Let’s review Zero Conditional and practice:
We use the Zero Conditional to talk about results that are certain if the condition
takes or doesn’t take place / happen.

The structure is:

3) If it _______ (be) very snowy outside, your car _______ (need) chains on the wheels.
