We're going to look at the difference between
'in case' and 'if' in today's English In A Minute.
1. I'll call you if I need help with my homework.
2. I'll call you in case I need help with my homework.
it means that I might call you in the future,
but it depends if I need help or not.
The second sentence with 'in case'
means I'm going to call you before I do my homework
Let's take a look at another example:
1. I'll take an umbrella in case it rains.
2. I'll take an umbrella if it rains.
Just like in our first example,
'in case' means I am going to take my umbrella anyway
this means that you only take an umbrella
because it is raining when you leave.
