"If clauses with modals"

We use if clauses for possible events in the future When one event depends on mother. The “ If clause” can come before or after the main clause. When the If clause comes first, we use a comma (,) after it.

  . If I go to japan, I´ll visit Kyoto and Nara.

 . I might take a taxi home if I work late tonight. 

• We use the simple present in the if clause. We use will, May or might+ the base form of a verb in the main clauses.

• We can use affirmative or negative verbs in one clause or in both clauses.

                . If I don´t get a job, I´ll borrow some money.

                . If I get a job, I have any free time.

                . If I don´t get a job, I won´t be able to pay for things.

Conclusion       I found it very interesting because so I'm learning how to use the "If clauses with their respective modals" and learn how to form sentences and questions.
