Learn English – If you want to wake up at 7 tomorrow

conditional-constructions

I have searched a lot on the Internet and it seems this sentence isn't a correct sentence.
Even I've searched for sentences like:

  • If you want to get up at 7 tomorrow
  • If you want to wake up early tomorrow

and some other variations without any success. Would someone please explain to me what is wrong with this sentence and how I can correct it?

P.S: This is the situation. One of my friends has an interview tomorrow morning and I want to advise him to get up at 7.

P.S 2: I know that there should be a main-clause after the if-clause. Something like: if you want to get up at 7 tomorrow, you should go to bed at 10 today.

If you can't find something that you wrote on the internet, that could mean one of two things:

  1. You have written something so poorly and ungrammatical that it needs to be fixed.
  2. You have written something so original that you can't find your particular wording on the internet.

Not every valid sentence exists in cyberspace. This is a case where you've written something that's both grammatical and natural-sounding, yet, for some reason, people haven't blogged much about waking up at 7 o'clock – at least, not by using the same words you are using.

By the way, inserting an asterisk as a wildcard in your Google search can help. For example, when I tried searching for:

"if you want to get up at * tomorrow"

I found a few wordings. One was in an English exercise:

You'd better go to bed early tonight if you want to get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow.

The other was in a plan for a mountain hike:

We're meeting at 5:00am at the museum. So if you want to get up at 4:40 tomorrow morning then respond fast!

So, if you can't find a phrase like "If you want to get up at 7 tomorrow" on the internet, perhaps the time is the only thing wrong with your search.
