🌧️ The 'If' Rule

When we talk about things that might happen, we use If.

The Pattern: If + Something happensSomething else will happen

From the text:

  • "If it rains, the teams will play at the University of Dayton Arena."

Breakdown:

  • If it rains (The condition/the trigger)
  • will play (The future result)

Try these simple changes:

  • If I am tired → I will sleep.
  • If the game is late → I will be sad.
  • If it is sunny → I will go to the park.
