The Zero (0) Conditional
We use the zero conditional when we want to talk about facts or things that are generally true.
There are two types of facts:
Facts that are true for everyone. (Herkes için geçerli olan gerçekler)
e.g. If water reaches 100 °C, it boils.
Facts that are true for a specific person, group, family, etc.
(Belli bir grup için geçerli olan gerçekler.)
e.g. If I eat peanuts, I get sick.

Form of Zero Conditional
(Yapısı)
We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if clause' and one in the 'main clause’).
If + present simple, .... present simple.
If you heat ice, it melts.
V1 V1
If clause
(action)
Main clause
(result)

Usages of the Zero Conditional
(Kullanımı)
Usually, the if clause is the first part and the main clause is the second part of a sentence, but they can written in the opposite as well.
If you touch fire, you get burned.
You get burned if you touch fire.

Using when instead of if
If = When
In zero conditional, we can usually replace if with when if it doesn’t change the meaning of the sentence.
Genellikle if (eğer) yerine when kullanabiliriz eğer cümlenin anlamını değiştirmezse.
If babies are hungry, they cry.
When babies are hungry, they cry.
Babies cry when they are hungry.
Babies cry if they are hungry.
