Zero Conditional

CONDITIONALS

Conditional clauses consist of two parts: the if-clause (hypothesis) and the main clause (result). When the if-clause comes before the main clause the two sentences are separated by a comma. We don't use a comma when the if-clause follows the main clause.

If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.

The water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees

ZERO CONDITIONAL

The Zero conditional is a type of conditional sentence used to describe something which is always true (general truth or scientific fact). It is formed by using the Present Simple Tense in both clauses of the sentence. The Zero Conditional is used to express a cause and effect relationship that is always true in a specific situation.

In these examples, the conditions are always true and the resulting effect always occurs as a result of the condition being met. The zero conditional does not involve speculation or hypothetical situations, but rather describes events or consequences that are inevitable based on a given circumstance.
