Zero ConditionalExamples &Characteristics
Ing. Michael Sigcha MSc.
Examples:
• The zero conditional is used to talk about things which are always true — such as scientific facts and general truths
• If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils
• If scientists produce laser light, they generate a light a million times brighter than sunshine
• If you look at the sky, you can see Venus
How can we form Sentences with the zero conditional?
• If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils
• If you look at the sky, you can see Venus
• If scientists produce laser light, they generate a light a million times brighter than sunshine
Two ways to write with conditional zero
• If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.
• Water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees.
• If you look at the sky, you can see Venus.
• You can see Venus if you look at the sky.
• If scientists produce laser light, they generate a light a million times brighter than sunshine.
• Scientist generates a light a million times brigther than sunshine if they produce a laser light
Read this Scientific Facts and then change them to zero
conditional• EXAMPLE:• The temperature on the surface of
Mercury exceeds 430 degrees C during the day, and, at night, plummets to minus 180 degrees centigrade. This is the scientific fact.
• If you calculate the temperature of Mercury, you realize Mercury exceeds 430 degrees C during the day
• If you calculate the temperature of Mercury, you realize Mercury exceeds 430 degrees C during the day
• Using the zero conditional to write the same in other way.
• You realize Mercury exceeds 430 degrees C during the day if you calculate the temparature
