Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What are zero and first conditionals in English grammar?
Zero and first conditionals are types of conditional sentences used to describe actions or events that are dependent on a certain condition being met.
How do I form the zero conditional?
The zero conditional is formed by using the present simple tense in both the `if` clause and the main clause. For example, `If it rains, the ground gets wet.`
How do I form the first conditional?
The first conditional is formed by using the present simple tense in the `if` clause and the future simple tense (using `will`) in the main clause. For example, `If it rains, I will stay at home.`
What is the difference between the zero and first conditional?
The zero conditional is used to describe actions or events that are always true when a certain condition is met, while the first conditional is used to describe actions or events that are likely to happen in the future if a certain condition is met.
Can the order of the clauses be changed in the zero and first conditional?
Yes, the order of the clauses can be changed in the zero and first conditional, but a comma must be used to separate the clauses. For example, `The ground gets wet if it rains` (zero conditional) or `I will stay at home if it rains` (first conditional).
