    The document discusses the zero and first conditional. [1] The zero conditional uses present simple verbs to describe events that always occur under certain circumstances, such as "if water reaches 100 degrees, it always boils." [2] The first conditional uses "if" with the present simple and the subject with "will" plus an infinitive to describe possible future events, like "If it rains, I won't go to the park." [3] Examples are provided for both conditional structures.

    UNIT 5

    Zero and first conditional

    Zero conditional

    We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the
    'if clause' and one in the 'main clause'):

    If + present simple, .... present simple.

    This conditional is used when the result will always happen.


    So, if water reaches 100 degrees, it always boils. It's a fact. I'm talking in general,
    not about one particular situation. The result of the 'if clause' is always the main
    clause.

    The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the
    meaning.

    Examples:
    ,
    1. If people eat too much they get fat.

    ,
    2. If she touches a fire she gets burned.

    3. People die if they don't eat.

    4. You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.

    5. Snakes bite if they are scared.

    6. If babies are hungry, they cry

    1. (I / wake up late / I / be late for work)


    If I wake up late, I’m late for work.

    2. (my husband / cook / he / burn the food)


    If my husband cooks, he is burns the food.
    ________________________________________________________

    3. (Julie / not wear a hat / she / get sun stroke)


    If Julie doesn’t wear a hat, she gets sun stroke.
    ________________________________________________________

    4. (children / not eat well / they / not be healthy)


    If children don’t eat well, they aren’t healthy.
    ________________________________________________________
    5. (you / mix water and electricity / you / get a shock)
    If you mix water and electricity, you get a shock.
    ________________________________________________________

    6. (people / eat / too many sweets / they / get fat)


    I f people eat too many sweets, they are get fat.
    ________________________________________________________

    7. (you / smoke / you / get yellow fingers)


    You get yellow fingers if you smoke.
    ________________________________________________________
    8. (children / play outside / they / not get overweight)
    If children play outside, they don’t get overweight.

    9. (you / heat ice / it / melt)


    If you heat ice, it melts.

    If I speak to Jhon, he gets annoyed.

     If it’s a nice day tomorrow, we’ll go to the beach.


     If Arsenal wins, they’ll be top of the league.
     I’ll go shopping on the way home if I have time.
