in life?
Let us challenge your bright
minds with a game.
I will be stating an If
Clause
If clause is a statement
that expresses a
condition
You will give me a
Result Clause
Result clause is a possible
outcome of the phrase or
clause
If you put an ice cube
under the sun…
If it rains tomorrow…
If I had a lot of

Sleep deprivation makes us
moody and irritable, and it
impairs brain functions
such as memory and
decision making. It also
negatively impacts the rest
of our body.
It impairs the functioning of
the immune system making us
more susceptible to infections.
Make sure that you get
enough sleep so you can be
productive everyday.

Zero Conditional
It is also called “factual
conditional” because it is
used to express truths and
facts; the things that are
real, happening, and
existing around us.
It can also be used to
express habits,
instructions, and rules.
It uses an “if clause” and
a “result clause” that is
definitely going to
happen.
Examples:
If you heat water
above 100 degrees
Celsius, it boils.
If the sun sets, it gets
dark.
Examples:
If you freeze water, it
will turn into ice.

Use “If” when there is a
chance that the action
may or may not happen.
If the power goes out, you
can’t use the wifi.
Use “when” when we are
sure that action will take
place.
When you eat spicy food,

Plants die if they are
not watered.
Expressing Habits
Examples:
When I feel sad, I read a
book.
When my friends are
online, I say hello to them.
Giving Instructions
Examples:
If my classmate calls, tell
her to meet me at 3:00
PM.
If you need someone to
talk to, call me.
Expressing Rules
Examples:
You can enter the school, if
you wear complete uniform.
Students can borrow a book,
if they present a library card.
The facts written in the
result clause will surely
happen if the certain
condition in the if clause is

another person’s point of
view on a particular topic
