About if-clause
Hello,
It would be helpful if somebody would teach me which sentence below is the more natural phrase. I'd like to have a reply from a English native speaker.
1. I won't go see a movie, if it rains tomorrow.
2. I won't go see a movie, if it's rainy tomorrow.
Thank you in advance.
Hiroshi

Fivejedjon,
Thank you for your advice about 'go see', but I was a little surprised about that, because
I learned the use of 'go see' is also one of the correct usages.

I'd like to have more information or advice about the usage of 'go see'.

Hiroshi,
I wouldn't say that it is incorrect to say "I would like to go see a movie", and such usage may be encountered in informal communication. However, it is probably better - and neater - to say, "I would like to go to see a movie" / "I would like to go and see a movie", which was probably Fivejedjon's point.

Xerxes, and fivejedjon,
I finally got what you said.
It is an issue of formal and informal.
It's ifnformative.
Again really thanks a lot for your advice !

??? 5693which sentence below is the more natural phraseI won't go see a movie if it rains tomorrow. (no comma)
But more idiomatic, in my opinion:
I'm not going to the movies if it rains tomorrow.
