If

Hello, is it correct that in spoken English people sometimes omit the word "if" ? for many times the subtile tells me it is "if ... (then) ... " or "what if ...", but I really couldn't heard "if"

Thank you in advance.

yes, I often 'hear' the lack of if in American movies. The example that comes from Once upon a time in America says: "She talks to me once more, I'm gonna give her what she's asking for". As you see, no 'if' at the beginning.
