Zero Conditional Użycie

Zdania Warunkowe Typu 0 stosujemy zawsze wtedy, gdy mówimy o rzeczach stałych, niezmiennych oraz takich na które nie mamy wpływu.

If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils. - Jeśli podgrzejesz wodę do 100 stopni, zagotuje się.

Jest to prawda ogólna, na którą nie mamy wpływu. Czy tego chcemy, czy nie nie zagotuje się ona ani w 102 stopniach, ani w 97. Takie właśnie zdania będziemy tworzyć używając tego okresu warunkowego.

Konstrukcja

If + Present Simple + Present Simple If it rains, I take my umbrella with me. Jeśli pada, biorę ze sobą swoją parasolkę.

Możemy również zamienić kolejność wyrażeń w tym zdaniu pamiętając jednak, że if/when oraz pierwsza część zdania są nierozerwalne i muszą zostać przeniesione razem.

If you want to leave a message, speak after the tone. - Jeśli chcesz zostawić wiadomość, mów po sygnale. If you heat ice, it melts. - Jeśli podgrzejesz lód, roztopi się

Gramatyki nie warto uczyć się tylko i wyłącznie przerabiając ćwiczenia (a te znajdziecie TU). Ważne jest, aby uczyć się z różnych źródeł. Dzisiaj polecam Wam przesłuchać piosekę, którą znajdziecie poniżej. Jako prawdziwa beatlemaniaczka nie mołam uwzględnić tu niczego innego jak utwór „Rain” w wykonaniu Johna Lennona. Enjoy!
