 If Conditional Type 0

In general, we use conditional sentencesfor ideas or situations that depend on another. Accordingly, they are linked to a condition in which four types of conditional sentences are differentiated depending on probability or possibility. If something is always true under certain circumstances, the zero conditional sentence or if-clause type 0 is utilised in particular. Compare:

1. This type of conditional sentence is suitable for things that happen every time the associated condition is met, which means in the same situations. Therefore, such things are facts. Some examples of the use of the zero conditional:
   • “If you start the engine, you hearthat strange sound.”
   • “If you drink a glass of milk before you go to bed, you sleepwell.”
2. In some instances, ‘if’ can be replaced by ‘when’ or ‘whenever’:
• “You call that number wheneveryou have a problem.”
• “When he goes on a trip, he always takes a lot of pictures.
