Zero Conditional Explained

The zero conditional is used to describe general facts or situations that are always true. It uses the present simple tense in both the if-clause and main clause. There are two common structures: proposition + condition + result or result + proposition + condition. Both use the present simple tense. Questions are formed using an interrogative particle before the if-clause in the present simple tense.

Affirmative

Proposition + Condition + Result


Proposition (IF/WHEN) + Present simple + Present simple

• Meanwhile the second would be:

• Result + Proposition + Condition


Present simple + Proposition (IF / WHEN) + Present simple
Negative

• Proposition + Condition + Result


Proposition (IF/WHEN) + Present simple + Not Present simple

Meanwhile the second one would be:

Result + Proposition + Condition


Not + Present simple + Proposition (IF / WHEN) + Present Simple
Interrogative

Interrogative particle + Auxiliary + Subject + Verb + IF / When + Present simple + ?
