Zero and First Conditional Exercises

The document discusses two types of conditional sentences: 1) The first conditional expresses something that will probably happen in the future if a certain condition is met. It uses constructions like "If + present tense, will/may/must + infinitive". 2) The zero conditional is used for general truths or natural laws. It does not refer to any specific time or occasion. Examples given are "If you don't water plants regularly, they die" and "If you heat ice, it turns into water". The document then provides examples of forming zero conditional sentences and answering questions using the zero conditional structure. It also gives examples of forming first conditional sentences.
