- 😀 Zero conditional can be used to describe scientific facts, such as 'When you freeze water, it turns into ice.'
- 😀 Negative zero conditional sentences are formed by using the auxiliary verb 'do' or 'does' to make the present simple negative.
- 😀 Interrogative zero conditional sentences are formed by turning the result clause into a question, e.g., 'If I drink water, do I stay hydrated?'
- 😀 The order of the clauses in a zero conditional sentence can be reversed without changing the meaning, but a comma is necessary if the condition comes first.
