含有if的复合句由两个分句组成；if 为连词，引导条件状语从句，另一句为主句。
如果谈论的是某一个动作发生后势必会产生某个结果，那么主从句都用一般现在时态。
e.g. If you boil water, it becomes steam.
If you drop a glass, it breaks.
如果谈论的是‗如果‘某一个动作或事情发生后，很可能将会产生某种结果，那么在复句中主句的动词用一般将来时，而if从句仍然是一般
现在时。

若if 条件句放句首，从句后面要加逗号，和主句隔开。
unless 与if用法相似，相当于if…not
e.g. You will fail the exam if you don‘t
prepare for it.→You will fail the
exam unless you prepare for it.
