Let’s talk about...
To express something TRUE, we use ‘zero conditional’.
The structure is as it follows:
Example: If you cross an international date line, the time changes.
If you cross an international date line, the time changes.
IF - CLAUSE
MAIN- CLAUSE
It is also possible to replace “IF” by “WHEN”:
When you cross an international date line, the time changes.

Write three sentences with zero conditional and share with your teacher/classmates.
To express an idea which will happen according to the
condition of the sentence.
IF + Preset Simple + Future simple
If it rains, I will stay at home.
Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky
is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the Present Simple tense to talk
about the possible future condition. We use will + base verb to talk about the
possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is
a real possibility that the condition will happen.
