Sometimes, we have doubts when writing some words correctly, since their meaning varies according to how we write them. That is why we must pay special attention not to make spelling mistakes . In this article, we explain in more detail what is the difference between yes and no.
if not
When writing "but" as a single word, we can be referring to two things:
- Noun that can be used as a synonym of "destiny". Example: His fate was to live far from here.
- Adversative conjunction to oppose concepts, to express exception or used as a synonym of "only". Example: I did not tell him to come, but to stay at home. // I do not ask you but to give him a chance.
if not
On the other hand, when we write " if not ", it is two words: the conjunction "if" and the adverb of negation "no".
On many occasions, sentences with this expression are usually in conditional and used as a warning or threat. Example: If you do not do homework, you will not go out to play.
