ZERO CONDITIONAL

Conditionals describe the result of a certain condition. The if clause tells you the condition (If I
drink too much coffee) and the main clause tells you the result (I can't sleep at night). The order
of the clauses does not change the meaning.
We use the zero conditional to talk about things that are generally true, especially for laws and
rules. The structure: if/when + present simple, present simple.
Examples:
If I drink too much coffee, I can't sleep at night.
Ice melts if you heat it.
When the sun goes down, it gets dark.
