Cracking the Code: Zero and First Conditionals Uncovered

The Zero and First Conditionals are used to talk about real or likely situations.

Explanation

Zero Conditional:

The Zero Conditional is used for situations that are always true or generally true. It is formed using the Present Simple in both the "if" clause and the main clause.

Structure:

If + Present Simple, Present Simple

Examples:

If you heat water to 100°C, it boils.

If it rains, the ground gets wet.

First Conditional:

The First Conditional is used for real or likely situations in the future. It is formed using the Present Simple in the "if" clause and the Future Simple (will + base form of the verb) in the main clause.

Structure:

If + Present Simple, will + base form

Examples:

If it rains tomorrow, we will stay home.

If you study hard, you will pass the exam.
