Meet the Zero Conditional!

So, as the title says, in the next 4 posts I'll be explaining to you conditionals. Additionally, I'll explain wishes and similar things in the last one. (This was TOTALLY not made in a rush. TOTALLY NOT!). Anyways, the conditionals can be divided into four types or kinds:

1. Zero conditional
2. First conditional
3. Second conditional
4. Third conditional
   

 (I know, not exactly the best names ever, but put that aside!)

Now, let's start this all explaining the easiest one, the Zero Conditional:

• This specific conditional is considered the easiest because to use it, you only need to know the following structure:    

  If + Simple Present, + Simple Present

 (I'm not quite sure if there's something easier to memorize than that, but for the record it's the easiest thing ever) 

•  The zero conditional is used to talk about things which are always true, scientific facts, general truths. Now, some examples:

1. If you put some ice on the floor, it melts.
2. If you drink lava, you die (and may I add, in a horrible way)
3. If you cross an international date time, the time changes.

Now, onwards to the first conditional!
