When ‘Unless’ is invoked in hypothetical constructions, it is ‘unless’ (unless’ is not explicitly designated).
I have been told that ‘unless’ can’t be used in hypothetical clauses as follows:
Unless Ann had studied hard, she would have failed the exam. I have seen the video.
Why is a conditional clause above unless in mslg correct? What are the reasons for an unless in mslg?
What should one do if you want to be a better person?
Why we think of a hypothetical situation as not happening yet or hard to happen and for this reason, no one can be sure whether the situation can happen or not, “unless” doesn’t feel appropriate to use for describing the hypothetical situation.
