NOTE:
·
In writing conditional sentences, we MAY PUT the “IF Clause” before the
“RESULT Clause” and vice versa.
·
However, we MUST put comma (,) at the end of the “RESULT Clause” if the “IF
Clause” is put before the “RESULT Clause”.
·
The meaning of the fact must be on the
contrary with the conditional sentence. So, if the conditional sentences is
positive form, the fact will be in negative one and vice versa.
