Zero conditional sentences are used to describe general truths or facts that are always true, such as scientific facts. They contain an "if-clause" using the present simple tense, followed by a "main clause" also in the present simple tense. Examples include "If you heat ice, it melts" and "When you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils." Zero conditional sentences express situations that are generally true and predictable.
