Zero Conditional
for certainty

If you heat ice, it melts.

We use the so-called zero conditional when the result of the
condition is always true, like a scientific fact.
Take some ice. Put it in a saucepan. Heat the saucepan. What
happens? The ice melts (it becomes water). You would be
surprised if it did not.

Present Simple

Present Simple

you heat ice,

it melts.

Notice that we are thinking about a result that is always true for
this condition. The result of the condition is an
absolute certainty. We are not thinking about the future or the
past, or even the present. We are thinking about a simple fact.
We use the Present Simple tense to talk about the condition. We
also use the Present Simple tense to talk about the result. The
important thing about the zero conditional is that the condition
always has the same result.
