Conditionals

IF - zinnen of conditionals: grammar 13, p. 89/97

Een if-zin bestaat uit twee gedeelten: het gedeelte dat begint met ‘if’ (if he runs)- de voorwaarde, en het hoofdgedeelte van de zin (he will be on time). Het maakt geen verschil of je de zin met het hoofdgedeelte laat beginnen of met if. Er zijn vier verschillende soorten if-zinnen/conditionals.

Zero Conditional

Het gaat hierbij om gewoontes en feiten die waar zijn en zeer waarschijnlijk dat de voorwaarde behaald wordt.

Fill in the zero conditional:
