When do we use it? - Scientific facts. To talk about universal truth * If I run 100 km, I get tired * If you heat water to 100º, it boils- To give commands / orders: (NO SUBJECT IN THE MAIN CLAUSE)* If you are tired, go to bed * If you don't understand the lesson, ask the teacherIf clause CONDITION, Main Clause RESULT

Pay attention: Zero Conditionals are also known as Type 0 conditionals (general truth – general rule)If you leave ice in the sun, it melts.The condition is: if you leave ice in the sun. This is an if-clause because it begins with IF.What is the result of this if-clause?The result is: the ice melts. But to avoid repeating the word ICE, we use the pronoun IT so we say: it melts.

If/When + Present Simple, Present Simple

- We have to use a comma at the end of an if-clauseIf you stand in the rain, you get wet.(The condition is: If you stand in the rain, the result is: you get wet.)- We can also change the order of the sentence and have the main clause (the result) before the if-clause (the condition).How we can we change our example sentence (If you stand in the rain, you get wet) to this order? We say:You get wet if you stand in the rain.Note that with this order, we do NOT use a comma between the clauses.

If/When + Present Simple, Present Simple

We are predicting a likely result in the future if a condition is fulfilled.*If I feel sick tomorrow, I won't go to school.*She will be late if the train is delayed*If we don't hurry, we will miss the bus

If + Present Simple, Future Simple

Unless is used in negative conditionalExamples:* Unless you fill this form, you won't get your ID card* Unless we recycle more, we won't have a better world

However you can also use the modal verbs MAY, MIGHT and COULD when something is a possible consequence (and not a certain one) in the future. If you are nice to me, I may buy you a gift when I'm in Peru. If they train a little harder, they might win the match. If he doesn't do his work, he could get fired.
