Grammar: How to use 'unless' in English conditional sentences

You are probably familiar with using 'if' in conditional sentences. 'Unless' is a conjunction that can also be used with a conditional meaning, but there are rules we follow when we use it. Find out what they are in only 90 seconds with Dan, a teacher who's running a little late...

Unless Dan is such a fantastic teacher, we won't be able to learn that.

I miss Dan sooo much! It is a pity he is not with bbc learning english any more 😥

[speakfluentlywithmr.othman]

Could we use unless with all types of if conditionals, or only with first conditional?

Hello Dan,
Would you mind telling me whether we can use UNLESS to replace IF in unreal present and unreal past conditional sentences (Types I and II)?
Examples:
1. If he didn't have money, he couldn't buy this book.
>> UNLESS he had money, he couldn't buy this book.
2. If it hadn't rained yesterday afternoon, I would have gone to the music club.
>> UNLESS it had rained yesterday afternoon, I would have gone to the music club.
Thank you very much in advance!

[sunshinesugarbvbichvan]

how about 'unless' in ' unreal conditionals'?! Can I use it in the third or second conditional?
