Otherwise

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES:

PRESENT OR UNSPECIFIED TIME

A conditional sentence is a sentence that expresses a condition. A condition is something that can only happen if something else occurs. A conditional sentence contains an independent clause and a dependent clause that almost always begins with “if” but we can also use another word except “if” like provided that, unless or otherwise. In this paper we will discuss about conditional sentence with “if” and “otherwise”.

INTRODUCTION

Most of people get confused between hope and wish. Hope and wish have very similar meanings. We use them to express our desire for something different from how it is now. In a nutshell, hope mainly expresses a desire that is possible or likely to happen. Wish usually expresses a desire that is impossible or unlikely to happen. Sentences with hope and wish are usually followed by a noun clause starting with that.
