Conditional clauses

As yesterday we talked about the contional clauses, I thought to post something about it. I hope it will be useful!

Let's start with the ZERO CONDITIONAL: it is used to talk about facts, habits or actions that always have the same outcome (risultato). This include scientific facts and general statements (affermazioni).

If you heat water to 100 °C , it boils.

If it doesn't rain, the road doesn't get wet!

As you can notice, the tense (tempo verbale) in both parts of the sentence is the Simple Present.

And now the FIRST CONDITIONAL, that's the one we took a look at in our last class! 

We use it to talk about possible situations and their consequences in the future...
