The Zero Conditional

Use the zero conditional to talk about things that are Always or Usually True.
e.g. Scientific fact or habits. Or you can also use the first conditional to Give Intructions or Advice:

ex.
If you heat ice, it melts. [Scientific fact]
If I'm late, my dad drives me to school. [habit]
If you see him, tell him to call me. [intruction]
If you go skiing, dress warm. [advice]


Form/Penulisan
'If' + Present Simple (,) Present Simple

ex.
If I don't have homework, we can go camping every weekend.
or
We go camping weekend if I don't have homework.
**The 'If' clause can come second, but you don't need a comma (,)



ZERO vs. FIRST Conditional

==> Zero conditional -> talks about things that are always true
==> First conditional -> talks about one event in the future. Hanya terjadi sekali

ex.
If I don't have homework, we go camping on the weekends. [always true]
If it rains tomorrow, we will not go. [True only for tomorrow]
