Lesson Plan: Zero Conditional

Grade Level: Intermediate

Topic: Zero Conditional

Duration: 45 minutes

Lesson Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Understand the structure and use of the zero conditional.


2. Form zero conditional sentences accurately.
3. Use zero conditional in real-life contexts to describe general truths and facts.

Materials Needed

 Whiteboard/Markers
 Flashcards with example sentences
 Handouts with exercises
 PowerPoint slides (optional)

Lesson Procedure

1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)

 Greet the students and start with a quick brainstorming activity:


Question: "What happens when you heat water?"
Expected Answer: "It boils."
o Write the sentence on the board and underline the structure (If + present simple,
present simple).

2. Presentation (15 minutes)

 Introduce the zero conditional:


Explain that it is used for facts, general truths, and things that are always true under
certain conditions.

Structure:
o If-clause: Present Simple
o Main clause: Present Simple
o Example: "If you mix blue and yellow, you get green."
 Key Points:

1. Both clauses use the present simple tense.


2. "If" can be replaced with "when" without changing the meaning.

Examples:

o If you don't water plants, they die.


o When it rains, the ground gets wet.

3. Practice (15 minutes)

 Guided Practice:
1. Provide students with incomplete sentences and ask them to fill in the blanks:
 If you freeze water, it _________. (turns into ice)
 When you touch fire, it _________. (burns)
2. Group Activity:
 Divide students into small groups. Give them a set of situations and ask
them to create zero conditional sentences.
 Example scenarios:
 "What happens when you skip breakfast?"
 "What happens if you don't study for a test?"
 Pair Work:
Students interview each other using zero conditional. For example:

o "What happens if you sleep late?"


o "What happens when you exercise regularly?"

4. Production (10 minutes)

 Real-Life Application:
Ask students to write 3-5 sentences about their daily routines or facts using the zero
conditional.
o Example: "If I drink coffee in the evening, I don’t sleep well."
 Class Discussion:
Students share their sentences with the class.

5. Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

 Review the key points of the lesson.


 Ask students to summarize the zero conditional in their own words.

Homework:
 Write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) about general truths or habits using the zero
conditional.

 Monitor students during group and pair activities.


 Check written sentences and homework for accuracy.
