Zero Conditional Sentences/ Conditional Sentence Type 0

We use the zero conditional when we want to talk about facts or things that are generally true.
Scientific facts are often covered by the zero conditional: "When you heat ice, it melts." The zero
conditional uses if or when and must be followed by the simple present or imperative
-The structure of the zero conditional is: If + present simple, present simple. If you put food into
the freezer, it freezes. It's also possible to use the same structure but inverting the two clauses:
Present simple if + present simple.

• If you want to come, call me before 5:00
