Conditional type 0

This type of conditional is used when you are talking about something that is always true, for example:

·         If you freeze water, it turns into ice.

·         If you heat water, it boils.

Now lets see the structure of it:

If clause	Main clause
If + Present tense	Present tense
If you freeze water	it turns into ice.

 

Exercise: match the items in column A with those in the column B in order to form the correct Conditional Type 0 sentences.

A	B
(    )If you freeze water,	a)   I get tired.
(    )If I work too much,	b)   She keeps silent.
(    ) If she doesn't know the answer,	c)   It turns into ice.

The comparison of adjectives!

Now we are going to learn how to compare adjectives

Monosyllabic adjectives are compared with -er, -est.

positive		comparative		superlative
strong		stronger		strongest

 For example:

All the other adjectives are compared with more, most.
