Title: Understanding the Zero Conditional

Introduction:

 The zero conditional is used to talk about general truths, facts, and things that are
always true, regardless of the situation or time.

Structure:

 In the zero conditional, we use the present simple tense in both parts of the sentence.
 Structure: "If + present simple, present simple."

Examples:

1. If you heat ice, it melts.

2. If the sun sets, it gets dark.
3. If you mix red and blue, you get purple.
4. If you don’t water plants, they die.
5. If it rains, the streets get wet.

Practice: Complete the following sentences using the zero conditional:

1. If you ___________ (cut) an apple, it ___________ (turn) brown.

2. If it ___________ (snow), the ground ___________ (become) white.
3. If you ___________ (put) water in the freezer, it ___________ (freeze).
4. If you ___________ (eat) too much, you ___________ (feel) sick.
5. If you ___________ (leave) milk out, it ___________ (go) bad.

Pair Work: Work with your partner and create your own zero conditional sentences. Use the
structure "If + present simple, present simple." Try to come up with at least three sentences.
Be ready to share them with the class.

Real-life Application: Think about situations in everyday life where you can use the zero
conditional. Share at least two examples with the class.

Further Practice (Fill in the blanks): Complete the following sentences with appropriate
zero conditional statements:

1. If you ___________ (mix) red and yellow, you ___________ (get) orange.
2. If you ___________ (drop) a glass, it ___________ (break).
3. If you ___________ (don't study) for exams, you ___________ (fail).
4. If you ___________ (turn on) the heater, the room ___________ (become) warm.
5. If the power ___________ (go) out, the lights ___________ (turn) off.

Conclusion:

 The zero conditional helps us talk about things that are always true or happen
regularly.
 Remember to use the present simple tense in both parts of the sentence when forming
a zero conditional statement.
