If and Sentence Combining
if ودمج الجمل
Learning objective · هدف الدرس
I can use 'if' to show a condition and combine short sentences into better ones.
أستطيع استخدام if للشرط، ودمج الجمل القصيرة في جمل أفضل.
WHAT? · What is the grammar point?
ما هي القاعدة؟'If' introduces a condition: something must happen first for the result to happen. Good writers combine short, repetitive sentences using the connectors they know.
RULE
القاعدة- If + condition, result
- Result + if + condition (no comma)
- Combining: short + short → one clear sentence
