IF Clauses
Hello Intermediate Conversation Class,
Here is a link to study "If" clauses:
If Clauses - Exercises
Example:
If it rains tomorrow, we would be happy because we need the rain.
We would be happy if it rains tomorrow because we need the rain.
Note that when the sentence starts with the "if " clause, then it requires a comma. But, when the if clause is the second clause, there is no need for the comma.
