Contingency / Circumstance

Contingency/Circumstance

[Nurses will go on strike because they think their salaries are too low]
It’s normal for there to be some condition or circumstance for the idea or proposition which can be included in the same sentence. e.g.

	Nurses in Hong Kong may go on strike over low pay (Regardless ?!) à
	unless the government promises to review their case
	Notice how this has resulted in a more economic form of expression

Task 4: Add some realistic context or condition
(use if, when, unless, in cases where):

a) "The President will have to resign….."

b) "The Government will have to devalue the Hong Kong dollar….."

c) "The courts are likely to rule in favour of the mother…."
