Deep dives

Zero conditional

The zero conditional is used to express things that are always true or always happen. It consists of a conditional clause that states a condition and a main clause that describes the result. For example, when you heat water enough, it boils. In zero conditionals, 'when' and 'if' have the same meaning.
