Is this sentence type right in grammar? If..., then A..., otherwise, ...

If this is the case, then A is called a good one, otherwise, a bad one.

So, can you tell me which is better or normal? Thanks.

Thanks, Wh1626.

But sometimes we want to give each side a name EXPLICITLY, for example,

If this is the case, we call A is reducible, otherwise, we call A is irreducible.

In such an example, in logic, it could be "..., otherwise, we call A is not reducible, " but ..., well , I am realizing that I can not express myself here very well.
