First conditional
First conditional: When you're gone, I'll miss you.
Zero conditional: When you're gone, I miss you.
Is ARE present simple in both phrases? Because in the first conditional, it's strange to think that ARE is talking about the present when it's giving us the idea of future. If it is present simple, are there any other verb tense options when you want to give this idea of future from first conditional?
Zero conditional: When you're gone, I miss you.
