The usage of "not unless"
I've already searched and found a lot of results, but still not clear. would you help me?
please tell me if I'm correct or wrong.
example:
are you gonna enjoy your meal with them?
not unless they didn't eat first. =make sure that they should not eat first without me to have a meal with me.
are you gonna come to the party?
not unless there aren't many people. =make sure that there are only few people. I hate so many people gethering, it's too crowd.
in short, not unless=make sure=to give strong emphasize to the phraze??
