Grammar Explanations

Structure Type Usage in your examplesLogic
Zero ConditionalPushing buttons, locking doorsUsed for scientific facts, general truths, or automatic results. Both verbs stay in the Present Simple.
First ConditionalDriving along the river, investmentsUsed for specific future possibilities. The "if/unless" clause uses Present Simple, and the main clause uses will + verb.
ImperativesPlease do not make noise, refuseUsed for giving commands or requests. The "when/unless" clause sets the condition, and the main clause starts with the base verb.
Habitual ActionsCooking salads, wearing bootsUsed for routines. Both verbs are in the Present Simple because the action happens regularly.
