    The zero conditional is used to talk about things that are always true. It uses the structure "if + simple present, simple present". Examples include "If you heat ice, it melts" and "If it rains, the grass gets wet". The first conditional is used to talk about possible future events and uses the structure "If + present simple, will + infinitive", for example "If it rains, I will stay in my house". The second conditional talks about unlikely imaginary situations using the structure "If + past verb, would + verb", such as "If I won the lottery, I would buy a private plane".
