English Conditional Sentences

Choose the correct sentence.

A Unless the manager approves the request, the order won't be processed.

B Unless the manager doesn't approve the request, the order won't be processed.

C Unless the manager will approve the request, the order won't be processed.

D Unless the manager approved the request, the order won't be processed.

"Unless" already carries the negative meaning, so adding "doesn't" creates an incorrect double negative.

Reference: Skoolyst English Grammar Guide , Page 6

Read "unless" as "if...not" in your head before checking the rest of the sentence for an extra negative.
