    Uploaded by

    Hugo Guallo
    The zero conditional is used to describe situations where an action in the present will always result in a specific outcome in the present. Some examples of zero conditional sentences include: 1) If you leave ice in the sun, it melts. 2) If you exercise every day, you get fit. 3) If it rains, it gets cold. The zero conditional uses a present tense in both the if-clause (condition) and main clause (result). It describes facts or things that always happen under certain circumstances.
