Answer 1

Actually, you are supposed to write them on your own. Anyhow, I have posted possible answers for your reference, with the most relevant answers on the top. If you are facing trouble on these conditionals, I will explain it to you.

There are two conditional words - if and unless.

• If is used to say that an action will happen after a given condition is met. For example, "If you go to the party, you will enjoy yourself." Here, the action is 'you will enjoy yourself' and the condition is 'you go to the party'. If and only the condition takes place will the action take place. You can also rewrite the sentence as - "You will enjoy yourself if you go to the party."

• Unless is used to say that an action will happen if the condition is not met. For example, " Unless you go to the party, you will not enjoy yourself." Here, the action is 'you will not enjoy yourself' and the condition is 'you go to the party'. The action will take place if the condition is not met. You can also rewrite the sentence as - "You will not enjoy yourself unless you go to the party."

Now, back to your question.

Here are some possible answers for each:

1. If I don't go to Anu's party tonight,

• she might get angry at me.
• she might still forgive me.
• I will find time to complete the project.

2. If you don't telephone the hotel to order food,

• you will go hungry.
• I will do it myself.
• Mom might get angry.

3. Unless you promise to write back, I

• will not talk to you again.
• will eventually forget you.
• will not forgive you.

4. If she doesn't play any games,

• she will become fat
• she will have no friends.
• she might not fulfil her dreams of an athlete.

5. Unless that little bird flies away, the cat

• might catch it
• will not spare it
• will make a meal out of it
