DEFINITION CONDITIONAL SENTENCES


Conditional Sentence is a form of complex sentence which is formed from a subordinate clause which begins with a subordinate conjunction if it is a condition  and the main clause is also a result or consequence.


FUNCTION CONDITIONAL SENTENCES


1. State the conditions that will occur if the conditions are met now or in the future.


2. Expressing a presumption at present or in the future but in reality the opposite so that the probability of occurrence is very small.


3. Conditionally state what has happened in the past. For type 3 conditional sentences, it is usually in the form of regret for events that occurred because the conditions were not met


Definition of Type 0 Conditional Sentence


It can be concluded that what is meant by conditional sentence type 0 or zero conditional is a conditional sentence whose result is a general truth or fact, and can also express a habit. 


As with other conditional sentence types, what is meant by conditional is a condition, which will create a result, and the result is what will later state a general truth / fact or habit of that condition. 


• As an example:


1.   If you mix red and blue , it becomes purple .


2.   If I eat peanuts , I get sick .


What I underlined are the conditions, while those in italics are the results. In the first instance, it is a general truth or scientific fact. In the second example, it is a fact, it may not happen to everyone but it is a fact for you or a habit. 


Type 0 Conditional Sentence Formulas 


After reading the definition of Zero Conditional above, you may begin to be able to guess what kind of formula or sentence pattern we will use to form a sentence in this Type 0 Conditional Sentence . Because we discuss habitual activity , general truth and scientific fact , of course our sentences will contain elements of Simple Present Tense , friend. Well, here is the full explanation:


• Formula: If + Condition, Result or vice versa Result, if + Condition


• Explanation: If + Simple Present , Simple Present


• Example: If you burn paper, it turns to ash.


• Formula: If + Simple Present , Imperative Sentence


• Example: If you get headache, go to the doctor.


Super easy, it turns out that the Conditional Sentence Type 0 friend . Oh yes, a little more, especially on Zero Conditionals , we can replace the word " if " with " when ". So, if you prefer to use the word " when " instead of " if ", that's fine in the Type 0 Conditional Sentence .
