Grammar-conditional sentences
Hello everyone,
When we have two clauses connected by "or" as follows:
-we need to have good weather, or the trees will not produce good fruit.
If I use "as long as" and "if" to paraphrase the clauses, is it OK to say:
1. If we have good weather, the trees will produce good fruit.
2. If we don't have good weather, the tree will not have good fruit.
3. As long as we have good weather, the trees will produce good fruit.
4. As long as we don't have good weather, the trees will not produce good fruit.
Regards,
JA

As long as we don't have bad weather, the trees will produce good fruit.
The sentences above are, in my opinion, the best paraphrases of the original with "if" and with "as long
