WHAT ARE ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONALS?

ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONALS

• Today I'm making plans for my next weekend, If it is sunny I will go to the beach. But I need to buy a lot of things, specially sunscreen, because if I don't use it I get sunburned after swimming some hours.

Conditional Clauses

• Conditional Clauses have two sentences:
• The conditional clause that refers to a condition to get a result.
• The main sentence that refers to the result.
• 

The Zero conditional

• This conditional is used when the result will always happen.
• It is used to talk about habits, scientific facts, general truths, instructions and rules, if something else happens first.
• In zero conditional sentences, you can replace "if" with "when", because both express general truths.
• 

The first Conditional

• The first conditional is used to express the future consequence of a realistic possibility now or in the future.
• For example, If I miss the train, I'll take the next one. There is a 50% chance that the first part of this sentence (the action following 'if') will happen.
