*Zero Conditional*
We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if clause' and one in the 'main clause'):
*If + present simple, .... present simple.*
This conditional is used when the result will always happen. The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the meaning.
*For example:*
*If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils.*
(It is always true, there can't be a different result sometimes).
*If I eat peanuts, I am sick.*
(This is true only for me, maybe, not for everyone, but it's still true that I'm sick every time I eat peanuts).
*Examples:*
*If people eat too much, they get fat.*
*If you touch a fire, you get burned.*
*People die if they don't eat.*
*You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.*
*Snakes bite if they are scared.*
*If babies are hungry, they cry*
When we talk about things that are generally or always true, we can use:
If/When/Unless plus a present form PLUS present simple or imperative
*If he gets there before me, ask him to wait.*
*When you fly budget airline, you have to pay for your drinks and snacks.*
*Unless you need more space, a small car is big enough for one person*
Note that we are not talking about a specific event but something which is generally true.
In the condition clause, we can use a variety of present forms. In the result clause, there can only be the present simple or imperative.
*Examples*
*If you visit London, go on the London Eye.*
*If unemployment is rising, people tend to stay in their present jobs.*
*If you've done that, go and have a coffee.*
*When you go on holiday, take plenty of sun cream. It'll be very hot.*
*When I'm concentrating, please don't make so much noise.*
*When I've finished an article, I always ask Kate to read it through.*
Notice that 'unless' means the same as 'if not'.
*Examples*
*Unless he asks you politely, refuse to do any more work on the project*
*Unless prices are rising, it's not a good investment*
*Unless you've been there yourself, you don't really understand how fantastic it is.*
