So I'll just make a sentence with a word which I don't know well.
I have a lot of words which I don't know well.
For example,"Unless","Though","Even though","Even if","Despite" and so on.
When I don't have a diary which I want to write,I'll write a diary with one of these words to understand them.
I'll use this word "Unless" today.
The Collins Cobuild New Student's Dictionary says,
You use unless to introduce the only circumstances in which an event you are mentioning will not take place or in which a statement you are making is not true.
For example,"I'm not happy unless I ride or drive every day."
I actually looked English-Japanese dictionary up,too.
I understood how to use it and I'll make a diary with "Unless".
"I won't write a diary unless I have a good idea to write it."
"I will write a diary everyday unless I forget to write it."
"Everybody spend money unless they are
.......Oh,no.I just wrote some examples........but it's O.K.
Writing everyday is the most important for me so far.
After that I hope I can write a diary with unknow words.
By the way I don't know the difference between that
"I won't tell them --- not unless you say I can." (It is written by Oxford advanced learner's dictionary.)
and
"I won't tell them --- unless you don't say I can."
Both of them are O.K??
Maybe later....

FROM CHRIS
The first sentence sounds good. It's aka "I won't tell them unless you tell me to". However, the second one is wrong... Maybe you can change the second one to "I won't tell them --- unless you say I can".

Thank you for your information!!
Oh,the 2nd sentence is wrong....
I cannot understand so far.
I will just mind it until I understand.
I guess it doesn't make sense if that sentence "Unless" have "not".
