Zero conditional sentences are used to describe general truths or facts that are always true. They contain an "if" clause and a main clause both in the present simple tense, such as "If you heat ice, it melts." Zero conditional sentences can also replace "if" with "when." Examples of zero conditional sentences include "If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils" and "When it's cold, I always wear a jacket." A review quiz tests the formation of zero conditional sentences.
