Guia 12 Zero-Conditional-Exercise

The zero conditional is used to describe situations that are always true when a certain condition is met. It uses the present simple tense in both the if-clause and main clause. Some examples of zero conditional sentences include: "If I eat too much, I feel ill"; "If you heat ice, it melts"; "Ice melts if you heat it". The condition can come before or after the result. Zero conditional structures are used to state general truths and scientific facts.
