Yes or no? If not or else? If not together or separately? One of the most recurrent doubts when writing on the Internet together with above all or above all, go, fence, berry or balla, there, there, there or there or there, there or there. And it is that although they may seem words that are easy to differentiate, the truth is that their meaning has nothing to do with each other. How do you write, if not or not? We see it below.
How else is it written: all together or separately?
The quick answer is that it is written both together and separately. The explanation, however, depends on the use that we are going to give the word in a certain sentence.
By way of summary we can say that if not together it designates an adversative conjunction whose function is limited to contrasting different actions, ideas or concepts. The latter also acts as a noun, and its meaning is very similar to that of destiny or omen .

When is it written if not separated? By itself the expression does not form any type of grammar cell, but rather tries to introduce a conditional sentence . The use of this word, however, is no longer popular, and is limited to that of some classical works written in Latin.
When to use but together
The use of sin is aimed at opposing different actions in a given sentence to replace the use of the period or semicolon as punctuation marks. It can substitute for alone or only and denote an idea of ​​exception or addition.
Christians do not pray to tell God what to do, but to get to do what God asks us to do.

If we use but as a noun, the RAE describes its meaning as "an unknown force that works irresistibly on gods, men and events."
Examples of phrases with sino
- Opposition of ideas : I didn't tell you to be late, but not to leave the house when it rained.
- Exception idea : Nobody knew but Pepe.
- Substitution of only or only : I do not ask you but tell me that you love me.
- Addition idea : I wanted him not only for good, but also for fair and kind.
- Synonym of destiny : Fate caused him to die suddenly.
When to use if not separated
The use of separate fate is limited to the introduction of conditional sentences where generally the condition is in front of the sentence cell and the consequence behind, in such a way that the sentence remains in this way:
- [consequence] if not [condition]
- If not [condition] [consequence]
A good way to memorize its use is to introduce a sentence condition between cell measurements to see if it acts as a conditional sentence. For example:
- If you keep your homework up to date, I wo n't punish you during the weekend.
- If you don't keep your homework up to date, I'll punish you during the weekend.
Examples of sentences with yes no

- If it doesn't rain we can party tonight.
Phrases with but and if not

- If he does not say yes, but "you will see", do not do it if you do not want him to get angry.
