PLEASE HELP ME!What is the difference between UNLESS and IF...NOT

Posted by Raymond Nguyen on April 14, 2011 in English HELP

Hi there!first sorry abt my English.i really need your help,i'm confused whenever using "unless" and "if...not"

if i say "i will go fishing unless it rains".is it the same meaning with "i will go fishing if it doesn't rain" ?

do i sound queer when i say "i will go fishing unless i doesn't rain" ?

Thanks

    wow,it's verry useful.thanks for helping me,i really appreciate that :)

    can i ask you one more question please:

    "i couldn't have gone fishing - unless it had not rained"

    i can not use "if not" in this case right?

      that's nice siria.In vietnam,our teachers say that we can replace unless with if..not,and when i talk with foreigners sometimes they say that i sound queer!now i know the reason.
