    IN CASE

    “in case” is used to talk about things we should do in order to be prepared for possible future
    situations.

    “in case” is a structure we use when expressing how we will take precautions for the possibility
    of something.

    “in case” is a conjunction which is used to join two clauses. (one of them expresses an action, the
    other expresses the reason)

    “in case” is used before the clause which indicates the reason/cause.

    “in case” is used to indicate the reason or cause of the action which is mentioned before.

    A (Main) Clause (Action) + In Case + A Clause (Reason)

    OR

    PRECAUTION + In Case + POSSIBILITY

    Examples:

    1. I will not go to school on foot in case it rains. (Action – Reason)

    (It rains – possibility / I will not go… – precaution)

    2. Apply sunscreen in case warm up.

    2. USING “IN CASE” (AS NA ADVERB – JUST IN CASE) IN ENGLISH

    “just in case” is used without a following clause to mean simply “as a precaution”.

    Examples:

    1. It might sunny today so you should bring your sunscreen just in case.

    2. She doesen't think she'll need to wear boots in the field. However, she will bring in case of
    mishap.
    Unless means ‘except if’.

    We use unless to say that there may be an exception and that this exception will change the
    situation.

    Examples:

    1. We're gonna play football tomorrow afternoon unless it gets hot.

    2. I don't miss school unless I get sick.

    As long as

    We use as long as to express a condition, i.e. to say that something will happen only on condition
    that something else happens.

    Examples:

    1. You can enjoy it every weekend as long as you do your homework.

    2. As long as I get a job, I can look for a wife.

    Providing

    Providing (that)… used to say what must happen or be done to make it possible for something
    else to happen.

    Examples:

    1. We will do all the work providing the payment is fair.

    2. Providing you have paid for the ticket, you can access the show.
