Conditional If Zero Type
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.
FUNCTION CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
1. State the conditions that will occur if the conditions are met now or in the future.
2. Expressing a presumption at present or in the future but in reality the opposite so
that the probability of occurrence is very small.
3. Conditionally state what has happened in the past.
For type 3 conditional sentences, it is usually in the form of regret for events that occurred because the conditions were not met
If + simple present, simple present
Simple present + if + simple present
Example of sentences:
●If it rains, the grass gets wet.
●The grass gets wet if it rains.
●If you heat water to 100°, it boils.
●If you eat a lot, you put on weight.
●If I’m tired, I go to bed early.
Conditional Sentence Type 1
This type is also relatively easy to understand. Type 1 conditional sentences are used to say something that may happen in the future. That is, if you use this conditional sentence, it means that you are sure that the assumption is still possible in the future. The formula used is as follows:
If + simple present, present future (will)
Present future + if + simple present
