"if to" or what?
Hello.
What's the best choice: "If turn off the lights, nobody will think we're here" or "If to turn off the lights, nobody will..."?
Tha fact's that I'd like to say it without pronouns but using "if".
Thanks.

Thank you! Do you mean that there's no existing situation when it'd be possible to use "if to"?

No, there is no case where you can do that, because your sentence must have a subject. Putting 'the light' before the verb accomplishes this as Clive has done, but you could also have written "If we turn the lights off...."
