Unless
📄️ Conditionals: typical errors
We don’t use will and would in the conditional clause:
📄️ If only
We use if only to express a strong wish that things could be different. It means the same as I wish but is stronger. We use it to talk about past, present and future unreal conditions.
📄️ In case (of)
In case is a conjunction or adverb. In case of is a preposition.
📄️ It’s time
We can use the expression it’s time + subject + past verb form to refer to the present moment:
📄️ Suppose, supposing and what if
Suggestions
📄️ Unless
We use the conjunction unless to mean ‘except if’. The clause which follows unless is a subordinate clause (sc): it needs a main clause (mc) to make a complete sentence.
