Hi Nithila, "If I late" has no meaning. You need a verb. However, #1 is a bit odd too.

  • You don't really think about being late until you're there, after the time you're supposed to be there, and he would realize you were late by then.

Hi Nithila,

"If I late" has no meaning. You need a verb.

However, #1 is a bit odd too. You don't really think about being late until you're there, after the time you're supposed to be there, and he would realize you were late by then.

Try either of these:

If it looks like I'll be late, I'll call you. If I'm running late, I'll call you.
