2. Fix the mistakes in these sentences. Explain why they're wrong:
1. If you will heat metal, it expands. →
Why?
2. If I was you, I will check the wires. →
Why?
1. If you heat metal, it expands. (0 conditional) Why? The original sentence used 'will' in the 'if' clause, which is incorrect for a zero conditional.
2. If I were you, I would check the wires. (2nd conditional) Why? The original sentence used 'was' instead of 'were' after 'If I'. Also, the main clause should use 'would' to express a hypothetical situation.
