The document discusses zero conditional sentences, which describe things that are generally or always true. A zero conditional uses the simple present tense in both the if-clause and main clause. They can usually substitute "when" for "if". Examples are provided of yes/no and wh- questions using zero conditionals. Common substitutions are given, such as water freezing when cooled to 0°C or getting wet when going swimming. Zero conditionals express things that routinely or inevitably happen under certain circumstances.
