 Re: If-then Clause
But never forget that if-then is really a conditional of which there are 4 basic types. Scholars would say thousands of types, I won't argue with them. But for teaching you should teach and learn, if you are learning, the 4 basic types.
Learning the conditionals is an area of extreme interest and boredom, but it definitely does not include only if-then!
Not forgetting that we do not need to start with "if" either!
For sure, if you learn the conditionals to a point where you can "feel" their meaning, you English and fluency will take one very big step forward. From small streams a river will form.
