Cards in this deck (10)
- 1If it (to rain), I always (to take) an umbrella.We use the zero conditional to talk about permanent truths, such as scientific facts, and general habits. Sometimes we need to change the certainty of the second action with an adverb of frequency.
If it rains, I always take an umbrella - 2When the temperature (to be) 0°C, it (to snow).Since zero conditionals describe general truths, things that happen all the time, you can also use “when” instead of “If” in the condition part of the sentence, with the meaning remaining the same.
When the temperature is 0°C, it snows. - 3I (to go) to the park if the weather (to be) nice.We use the 1st conditional when we believe the condition and result can (and probably will) happen in reality, but they are not 100% certain like the zero conditional above.

I’ll go to the park if the weather is nice. - 4If the company (not to make) a profit, they (not to give) me a bonus.We use the 1st conditional when we believe the condition and result can (and probably will) happen in reality, but they are not 100% certain like the zero conditional above.
The condition and the result clauses can be affirmative or negative.
