Today we learn about Conditional Sentence Type 0, before that i want to explain about condition sentence
Definition of Conditional Sentences
A conditional sentence is a sentence in English that is used to express wishes, hopes, assumptions, or plans that may or may not be realized. The general formula for conditional sentences is:
If + conditions, consequences
Or it could be the reversed formula
Consequences + if + conditions
From the formula above, we can see that a conditional sentence has two clauses, the first is a clause with an if or "if clause" and the second is a main clause or "main clause". If the clause is used to explain conditions that occur will cause something or will cause a loss, while the main clause is used to explain itself.
Conditional Sentence Type 0
Type 0 conditional sentences are still very simple and easy to understand. This type of conditional sentence is used to say a fact by using the formula "if ... then". For example, in Indonesian, if we say "If it rains, the grass gets wet." It can also be expressed in English using the conditional type 0, because grass that gets wet when exposed to rain is a well-known fact. The formula that can be used is as follows.
If + simple present, simple present
Simple present + if + simple present
Example of sentences:
"If it rains, the grass gets wet."
"The grass gets wet if it rains."
