UNLESS IN CONDITIONAL SENTENCE
GRAMMAR:
Unless means the same as if...not. Like if, unless is followed by a present
tense, a past tense, or a past perfect tense (never by a conditional). Unless is
used instead of if...not in conditional sentences of all types. The order of the
clauses doesn't matter with sentences using unless.
Type 1 conditional: Unless + present tense

Do not change the tense if the introductory clause is in a present tense (e. g. He says).
Note, however, that you might have to change the form of the present tense verb (3rd
person singular).
Example:
He says, “I write poems.” – He says that he writes English.

You must change the tense if the introductory clause is in a past tense (e. g. He said).

GRAMMAR
Embedded or included questions are used in two main situations: when we ask for
information indirectly or when we report questions. This is common in more passive, or
softer English (“Do you know…”), for reported speech (“She told me where…”) or to
discuss a question without directly asking it (“I don’t know why…”). Embedded
questions are noun phrases, so they use regular word order. The following article will
explain when and how to use them, and is followed by some exercises.
Embedded questions are always formed using a noun clause. This means it must use
noun clause word order, subject + verb, not the usual question form. The embedded
question (noun clause) is the object of a verb.
Example
“I know what his name is.” The embedded question is what his name is, a noun clause
that is the object of know.
For information questions, using question words (when, what, where, why, whose,
which, how), the noun clause should begin with the question word.
Example
“Do you know when the taxi will arrive?”
If the question asks for a yes/no response, the noun clause should begin with “if” or
“whether”.
Example
“Do you know if the taxi is coming?”
For questions formed with the verb to do, remove the verb to do from the embedded
question.
Example
“What do you want?” would become “He asked what I wanted.”
In questions the verb of the question is usually in a bare infinitive form; when it is part
of a noun phrase it should agree with the noun, with the correct tense.
Example, we might ask “What did he say?”, but as an embedded question say “I don’t
know what he said.”
