The term “unless” is an antecedent indicator,
translating into “if...not...,” as shown:
“She’ll meet you, unless she’s out of town.”
Translated: “If she’s not out of town, then she’ll
meet you.
When translating "unless" statements, remember the
following steps:
We'll use this example: We're
going to the beach, unless it's too cold.
Step 1. Write "If."
If
Step 2. After the "If" write down the denial of
the second clause:
If it's not too cold,
Step 3: Add a "then."
If it's not too
cold, then
Step 4: Write down the original first clause:
If it's not too
cold, then we're going to the beach.
You're done. Notice that we changed the order of the clauses
and denyed the new first clause.
