0 conditional
Hello.
Is it correct to use 0 cond. referring to the past actions that were common in the past?
example: When I was younger my mom gave me $20 a month if I behaved nicely.
Thank you in advance.

While I don't know the actual rules of what is used (we never address this directly in the UK, it's just 'taken as read'), I can tell you that the sentence you use as an example is perfectly natural and would be understood. I'll let someone who's been more formally trained answer the complex issue of what is technically correct!
