The document discusses the zero conditional, also known as the present real conditional. It is used to describe present actions that always happen under certain conditions. The zero conditional takes the form of "if + present simple, + present simple". Examples are provided of rules, scientific facts, causes and effects, and routines expressed using the zero conditional. Students are then given a quiz with multiple choice questions testing their understanding of the zero conditional structure and its uses.
