ZERO TYPE IF CONDITIONAL

 

Eyoo I'm back~ 

Now, i'll share you 'Zero Type If Conditional'

Before I explain Zero Type. I'll share the definition. 

Definition of Conditional Sentence

In simple terms, a conditional sentence is a compound sentence that contains conditions regarding a supposition, imagination, or an event that has not yet happened. In English sentences, this conditional sentence begins with 'if' as a sign that the condition hasn't happened yet. The conditional sentence form is "If-clause + main clause". If you notice, the if-clause is part of the conditional sentence. Meanwhile, the main clause usually contains consequences or consequences of the preconditioned condition.

Conditional sentence type 0

This type is usually referred to as zero conditional sentences. This type of sentence is used when the results or consequences of a condition are materialized, aka explaining general truth and scientific facts. This sentence is usually in the form of the present tense with the formula: if + simple present, simple present.

For example: If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can't be a different result sometimes). If I eat peanuts, I am sick. (This is true only for me, maybe, not for everyone, but it's still true that I'm sick every time I eat peanuts)

Here are some more examples:

-If people eat too much, they get fat.

-If you touch a fire, you get burned.

-People die if they don't eat.

-You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.

-Snakes bite if they are scared

-If babies are hungry, they cry

Conversations :

naurah : Hi, sarah. I’m making some sealing wax.

sarah : You make it by yourself? Wow! What is this?

naurah : It’s a wax. If you heat the wax, it melts.

naurah : Sure. By the way, it’s Sunday. Don’t you usually call your brother in New York?

sarah : Yeah, but it’s only 2 p.m. If it’s 2 p.m. in Jakarta, it’s 3 a.m. in New York.

naurah : Oh, I see. Are you going to call him tonight?

sarah : Yes. I’m planning to do a video call.
