Zero Conditional Survey
Pre-Intermediate
In the zero conditional, we use the present simple in both parts of the sentence and it is used to speak about "general truths".
Example:
Q: What do you do if you get a headache?
A: I go to bed and drink warm milk.
Distribute these questions among the students to ask each other - have a feedback session afterwards to see what sort of answers was given.
| What do you do if you get a headache? | What do you do if you feel bored in your English class? |
| What do you do if you get toothache? | What do you do if you get sunburnt? |
| What do you do if you can't sleep at night? | What do you do if you feel sleepy during the day? |
| What do you do if you don't understand your English teacher? | What do you do if you don't want to do your English homework? |
| What does your teacher do if you talk in class? | What do your parents do if you are not in touch regularly? |
| What do you do if you oversleep? | What do your friends do if you forget their birthdays? |
| What do you do if you have to prepare for a difficult exam? | What do you do if you feel hungry at night? |
| What do you do if there is nothing on TV? | What do you do if you cut yourself? |
| What do you do if you receive bad service in a restaurant? | What do you do if something you buy breaks after a few days? |
