CONDITIONALS

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT CONDITIONALS WE HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT THEY ALLWAYS FOLLOW THE SAME STRUCTURE. CONDITIONALS ARE FORMED OF TWO DIFFERENT PARTS: THE IF CLAUSE AND THE MAIN CLAUSE.

THE IF CLAUSE IS THE CONDITION OF THE SENTENCE. IS WHAT IT HAS TO HAPPEN TO OBTAIN THE RESULT.

THE MAIN CLAUSE IS THE RESULT OF THE SENTENCE. IS WHAT HAPPEN IF THE CONDITION OCURRER..

USE OF ZERO CONDITIONAL

ZERO CONDITIONAL IS USED TO TALK ABOUT FACTS OR ACTIONS THAT ALLWAYS HAPPEN IN THE SAME WAY. THERE ARE OBVIOUS RESULTS OF A CONDITION. THEY ARE USUALLY RELATED WITH SCIENTIFIC FACTS OR ACTIONS THAT ARE PERSONALLY TRUE. THE STRUCTURE IS THE FOLLOWING:

IF + PRESENT SIMPLE, + PRESENT SIMPLE
