Question

Rewrite the following sentences according to the instructions given after each sentence. Make other changes that may be necessary, but do not change the meaning of each sentence.
Father will send you a message if his flight is cancelled. (Begin: should….)

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given sentence and understand what it means. Now follow the given instruction and reframe the sentence. Make sure to follow the subject-verb agreement and that you don’t change its context.

Complete answer: In grammar, conjunction may be a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses that are called the conjuncts of the conjunctions.
Conjunctions have a crucial function because they join other words and phrases together. Without conjunctions, we could only make very, very simple sentences. Some conjunctions contain multiple words. They are called correlative conjunctions.

So, the first sentence would be split up into two parts: The first part will be ‘Father will send you a message’ and the second part will be ‘his flight is cancelled’. These would be surrounded by the correlative conjunctions.
However, the words ‘if’ and ‘should’ are not correlative conjunctions. They are simple coordinating conjunctions. Simple coordinating conjunctions are words that join words and phrases together. For example, words like ‘and’, ‘because’, etc, are all conjunctions. So, the word ‘should’ will need to be placed at the beginning. This means that the result will come second.
The sentence will be constructed in the following way: ‘should’ + condition + result.
The part that is the condition is ‘his flight is cancelled’ and the result is ‘father will send you a message’. In order to make it completely grammatically correct, we will need to change the verb ‘is’ in the condition part to a bare infinitive. A bare infinitive is an infinitive without the determiner ‘to’. The bare infinitive of the verb ‘is’ will be ‘be’.
So, the correct answer will be written in the following way:
Should his flight be cancelled, Father will send you a message.

Note: When you begin a sentence with ‘should’, it becomes conjunction. These conjunctions are used to join sentences with two main subject matters. ‘If’ is also one of these conjunctions.
