Lesson Overview

Every action has a reaction! In this lesson, students will learn about the zero conditional. This grammar rule is used to talk about everyday situations, general facts, scientific truths, and habits. Students will practice using the zero conditional and learn new vocabulary with real-life cause-and-effect examples. The lesson includes fun activities and interesting questions to help students use the zero conditional in speaking and writing. It is perfect for adult and teenage learners at the elementary (A2) and intermediate (B1) levels.

Lesson Objectives



  • Grammar: Students will study and practice the zero conditional and its cause-and-effect use. They will learn how to build sentences with this structure, with and without modals, and understand when to use it.




  • Speaking: Students will join conversation activities where they talk about daily routines, general truths, and scientific facts. They will use new vocabulary and the zero conditional in their answers.




  • Vocabulary: Students will learn and review words related to scientific facts, general truths, and habits. They will use this vocabulary in activities that help them understand and remember it.




  • Homework: The homework includes answering true-or-false questions, completing and rewriting sentences, and describing a picture using the zero conditional. These exercises will help students strengthen their vocabulary and grammar, making it easier for them to use the zero conditional in real-life situations.
