maranich fahma unless winta ndakhlah afi la phrase hiya w i wich

Unless is the negative of if.I mean unless is if not

Look at these examples

If he doesn't work hard,he will not succeed

Since unless is if not,we are going to rewrite the above sentence as follows

Unless he works hard,he will not succeed

Note that the subordinate clause has become affirmative because the negation is in the word unless

It's exactly the same when you say : I never smoke

We put the verb in the affirmative form because the negation is in the word never

So, we don't say: I don't never smoke

another example

If she has time,she will visit her sister

Unless she has time, she won't visit her sister

wish

The lesson is about expressing regret in the present and in the past and future desire using the verb wish

To express present regret,we use the past simple after wish

example

Father,I wish you were here with me now

This is a son who is regretting that his father is not with him and he is either writing a letter

to him or calling him.Since it is regret in the present,we use the past simple after wish

To express regret in the past,we use the past perfect after wish

example

I wish I had got my BAC last year

Here,it's a student who is regretting not having his BAC last year.Since it is a past regret,we use the past perfect

To express future desire,we use could+verb ( stem ) with the pronouns I and we and would + verb ( stem ) with

the rest of subjects
