Dear Teachers,

Can you paraphrese this sentences with using conditional.

1.Your friend might need some sleep. If so, tell her to give you a ring.

2. The automatic result of the door opening is the fan coming on.

Btw, what does the 2nd sentence mean?


Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I understand your question, but...

1. If your friend needs some sleep, tell her to give you a ring.

2. If the door opens, the fan comes on. (It means that there must be a switch in the door jamb that is triggered by the movement of the door.)

Yes, thank you bud.

Now, I see I made a little mistake. . It should be 'need some help' instead of 'need some sleep' (autopsy? lol), but I think, it isn't change the pharaphrasing sentences.

Ah! That makes a lot more sense!
