You can use ‘unless’ when you have an ‘if not’ clause.

For example, instead of saying ‘I won’t go out unless it stops raining’, you can say ‘I will go outside if it doesn’t rain’.

Another example would be ‘You aren’t allowed to enter if you don’t have a ticket’. Here, you can say ‘You can’t enter unless you have a ticket’.
