Will in if clause
Hi.
When can we have will in if clause?
I was taught that we can use will in if clause in two cases:
1. In very formal situation when we want to talk politely.
Ex. If you will wait here, I will call the doctor.
2. When the result of main clause is in the if clause.
Ex. Open the window, if it will help you to sleep
I wonder if there are other situations that we can use this structure. I would be grateful if you could exlain with examples.
Thanks
