clausesgrammaticality

I went through some documents about the usage of if clause. But still confused
about the usage of clause sentence.

Which sentence is correct in the below two sentences?

  1. If you are tired, get some sleep.
  2. If you tired, get some sleep.

Best Answer

"If you are tired, get some sleep." Or "If you're tired, get some sleep."

"If you tired" is changing the adjective tired into a verb.
You could however say: "If you tired yourself to exhaustion, get some sleep".
