    The document discusses the zero conditional, which expresses situations that are always true. It states that the zero conditional uses the present simple tense to link an "if clause" to a "main clause" to describe a cause-and-effect relationship that invariably occurs, such as "if water reaches 100 degrees, it boils." The zero conditional can be used to state facts or give instructions. It has a specific structure of "if + subject + present simple, subject + present simple."

    Use
     This conditional is used when the result will
    always happen. So, if water reaches 100
    degrees, it always boils. It's a fact. I'm talking in
    general, not about one particular situation. The
    result of the 'if clause' is always the main clause.
     Example:
     If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is
    always true, there can't be a different result
    sometimes).

    facts, etc.);
     To give instructions

    Structure
     Conditionals are sentences made up of two phrases.
    Exactly, the zero conditional has the following concrete
    structure:

     If + subject + present simple, subject + present simple

     The order of the two sentences that make up the


    structure of the conditional can be changed, with that you
    have no problem; but remember that if the phrase with if
    is second, the comma is not placed before it
