If and unless examples.
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.
When unless comes before the main clause, we use a comma:
Unless[SC]it rains, [MC]we’ll go for a picnic by the river tomorrow. (We’ll go for a picnic by the river tomorrow if it doesn’t rain.)
When the main clause comes first, we don’t need a comma:
[MC]They won’t comeunless[SC]you invite them.
Unless is a conditional word (like if), so we don’t use will or would in the subordinate clause:
Unless I hear from you, I’ll see you at two o’clock.
Not: Unless I’ll hear from you …
