We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if clause' and one
in the 'main clause'):
This conditional is used when the result will always happen. So, if water reaches 100 degrees, it always
boils. It's a fact. I'm talking in general, not about one particular situation. The result of the 'if clause' is
always the main clause.
The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the meaning.
For example: If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can't be a different result
sometimes). If I eat peanuts, I am sick. (This is true only for me, maybe, not for everyone, but it's still
true that I'm sick every time I eat peanuts)
