Hello Icy

I think there may be two different structures in your original question:

1. If X, then do Y; else do Z.

2. If X, then Y is also true; else [i.e. if not X], Z is true.

#1 presents commands; #2 presents inferences.

But I think it's fine to use "else" in both!

Thank you very very much!

Can you give some examples.

Hello Chenyj

Here are two:

1. If X, then do Y; else do Z.

— If you do not accept the terms and conditions, press Cancel now; otherwise, press OK.

— If Lydia's car is in her driveway, then she must be at home; otherwise, she's still at her dancing class.

Does that help?

MrP

Get it. Thank you.
