    If you study hard,

    • You get good grades.

    • You got good grades.

    • You getting good grades.

    • You will get good grades.

    Correct Answer
    A. You get good grades.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "you get good grades." This is because the phrase "If you study hard" is a conditional statement, indicating that studying hard is a condition that leads to a result. The verb "get" is used in the present simple tense to indicate a general truth or habit. Therefore, the correct form of the verb should also be in the present simple tense, which is "you get."

    Do we use Zero conditional when we DON'T talk about things that are generally or always true?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    We use the zero conditional when we talk about things that are generally or always true. In this case, the correct answer is False because the zero conditional is used to express facts or general truths, not when we don't talk about things that are generally or always true.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    We can make a zero conditional sentence with:

    • PRESENT SIMPLE in the if clause; and using will auxiliar IN THE MAIN CLAUSE

    • PAST SIMPLE in the main clause and PRESENT SIMPLE in the if clause

    • PRESENT SIMPLE in the if clause and PRESENT SIMPLE in the main clause

    • Two main clauses in present withouth the if

    Correct Answer
    A. PRESENT SIMPLE in the if clause and PRESENT SIMPLE in the main clause
    Explanation
    A zero conditional sentence is used to express a general truth or fact. It is formed by using the present simple tense in both the if clause and the main clause. This is because the present simple tense is used to talk about habits, routines, and facts that are always true. Therefore, the answer "PRESENT SIMPLE in the if clause and PRESENT SIMPLE in the main clause" is correct as it follows the structure of a zero conditional sentence.

    When the radio plays,

    • It's hard to hear you speak.

    • It was hard to hear you speak.

    • It is hard to hear you spoke.

    • It's hard to hear you will speak.

    Correct Answer
    A. It's hard to hear you speak.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "it's hard to hear you speak" because the phrase "when the radio plays" indicates a general or habitual action that happens in the present. The verb "speak" should be in the base form to match the tense of the sentence. The other options either use incorrect verb tenses or do not match the subject-verb agreement.

    When she works early

    • She woke up early.

    • She will wake up early.

    • She wake up early.

    • She wakes up early.

    Correct Answer
    A. She wakes up early.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "she wakes up early" because it follows the correct subject-verb agreement. The subject "she" is third person singular, so the verb "wakes" should also be in the third person singular form. The other options ("woke up," "will wake up," "wake up") do not have the correct verb form for the subject "she."

    • you gained weight.

    Explanation
    Eating fast food can lead to weight gain. The phrase "you gain weight" is a grammatically correct and logical statement that accurately describes the consequence of consuming fast food.

    Select the ZERO conditional sentences.

    • If you walk, I'll follow.

    • If you walk, I am there.

    • If you walked, I'd followed.

    • If you walk, I follow.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. If you walk, I am there.
    A. If you walk, I follow.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "If you walk, I am there." and "If you walk, I follow." These are examples of zero conditional sentences because they express a general truth or a cause-and-effect relationship that is always true. In this case, the condition "if you walk" is followed by a result that is always true, "I am there" and "I follow."
