Grammar: Conditionals without if

We can use other words instead of “if”:

  1. Unless means if…not

Unless you take an umbrella, you’ll get wet.

Compare if and unless:

  • If you take an umbrella, you won’t get wet.

  • Unless you take an umbrella, you’ll get wet.

  1. as long as, so long as, provided/providing (that)

We use the above to mean if but only if:

  • I’ll go to the conference provided you go too.

  • I’ll give you my address as long as you keep it a secret.

  1. And; or (else)

Keep quiet and you’ll be fine.

We use or (else) to mean if not or otherwise:

  • Don’t play the piano at night or else you’ll get into trouble.

  1. Should

We can use should instead of if when we are less sure about a possibility:

  • Should you run into him somewhere tell him about the problem.

  1. Suppose/ supposing

Supposing you’ve got a degree, would you apply for this job?

Ex. I. Use unless instead of if:
