If-clause We use present conditional (factual conditional sentences with the future ) to talk about what will happen under certain conditions. The if clause states the condition; the main clause states the probable or certain result. If If she wins, she will lower taxes. (statement) If If she wins, will she lower taxes? (yes/no question) Yes, she will./No, she won't. (short answer) What will she do if she wins? (wh-question)

If-clause IF and UNLESS can both be used in conditional sentences, but their meanings are very different. Use unless to state a negative condition. If If Bush wins, the Republicans will gain control. Unless Bush wins, the Democrats will remain in control. (If Bush doesn't win, the Democrats will remain control.)
