Understanding Zero Conditional Usage

The zero conditional is used to express facts that are always true or the results of actions that depend on general subjects. It uses the structure "if + subject + present simple, subject + present simple". Examples of zero conditionals include scientific facts ("If ice melts, it becomes water"), instructions ("If you get a cavity, go to the dentist"), and general truths that always produce the same result regardless of specific circumstances ("If you throw a coin to a fountain, your wish come true").

definition of What are the
conditionals:
A conditional is the result of
something that we wanted to happen,
This result could be in the present or
in future.

Having this clear the zero


conditionals are the ones in which we
can express something that has always
a result, the actions could be in
general, but the results could depend
on the subject. And of course we can
also say that some of the actions are
more likely to happen.
