Zero or First conditional? Hi everyone! I was wondering if you could help me figure out the following if conditionals. Are they zero or first conditionals? 1.I can't get to sleep if I drink a lot of coffee. ( Can I replace 'can't' by 'won' t'? ) 2.You(need to/ 'll need to) improve your English if you want to study in Britain. 3.My parents ( get/ will get) worried if I come home late. If the three conditionals are zero, can I use " will" to make them first conditionals.? Thanks in advance |
Re: Zero or First conditional? Hi Alex, Basically, yes, they are zero conditionals and they change to first conditionals if you add will/won't. Adding will shifts the perspective from something that is generally true (zero conditional) to something that is a concrete plan (first conditional).
