The structure of a zero conditional sentence

A zero conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an if clause and a main
clause (In most zero conditional sentences you can use when or if and the
meaning will stay the same.):
if clause

main clause

If you heat water to 100 degrees,

it boils.

If the if clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the if clause comes
second, there is no need for a comma:
main clause

if clause

Water boils

If you heat it to 100 degrees.

We use the same verb form in each part of a zero conditional: the simple present
tense:

if clause
main clause

if + subject + simple present verb

subject + simple present verb
