Nivel: B1Tema: Zero conditional: if + presente, presente — cocinar juntos; 30+ ejemplos
Rosa and I share a flat near the university. On Wednesdays we cook together because both of us finish classes early. The kitchen is small, but we have learned how ingredients behave when we combine them.
If we chop vegetables before heating the pan, dinner finishes faster. If we forget to defrost chicken, it cooks unevenly and stays cold in the middle. If we read the recipe fully first, we avoid missing steps that ruin the sauce.
If the rice absorbs too much water, it turns sticky and clumps on the plate. If we fluff it with a fork and leave the lid off, the grains separate nicely. If we add salt to pasta water, the noodles taste better even before we add sauce.
Rosa prefers spicy food. If she adds chilli early, the flavour spreads through the whole dish. If I add it only at the end, I can control the heat on my portion. If we both taste while cooking, we adjust seasoning together instead of arguing afterward.
We often invite one friend for dinner. If Claire arrives hungry, we give her bread while the main course simmers. If she brings dessert, we clear space in the fridge before she rings the bell. If the washing-up pile is high, we take turns so neither of us feels exploited.
Last week our smoke alarm rang because oil got too hot. If oil smokes, you should lower the heat immediately. If the alarm keeps ringing, you open windows and stay calm instead of waving a towel wildly.
Cooking together teaches cooperation. If we plan the menu on Monday, shopping is cheaper and less stressful. If we respect each other's tastes, Wednesday evenings become our favourite part of the week. Simple kitchen rules keep our friendship strong and our meals reliable.
