How to use "unless"

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

With if Equivalent with unless
