2 Instead of if not , we can use unless

“ if ” + negative action = “unless” + positive action

The meaning of both sentences is the same, but the action

after ‘unless’ (close) is the opposite of the action after ‘if’

(don’t close).

Compare:

Your bird will fly away if you don’t close the window.

= Your bird will fly away unless you close the window

3 Type 2 and 3, we can inverse the Subject and delete IF

Example:

= WERE I younger, I would play tennis.
