The zero conditional uses the present simple in both parts of the sentence to describe general truths and facts. Examples are given such as "If you heat water, it boils." The first conditional uses the present simple in the if-clause and will/won't in the main clause to describe possible future situations, with examples like "If it rains a lot tomorrow, there will be floods." Exercises are provided to practice forming sentences using these conditionals.
