I've got a question about using the word UNLESS

I know that there must be a positive phrase in front of the word unless, but I'm not sure if I use it correct or not
for instant: Unless you buy this tickets, you can't go to see the movie
or
Unless this lesson is finished, u can't pass the final exam

thanks for your helps.​

Your first sentence is correct.
Let me tell you a kind of clue!whenever you doubted about the accuracy and usage of "Unless" in a sentence,just replace it with "if not". For example,I checked your first sentence like this:
If you don't buy this ticket,you can't go to see the movie.
but the second sentence may be written better.
You'd better match the subjects.
So it can also be written this way: Unless you finish this lesson,you can't pass the final exam.
Your sentence is grammatically correct,by the way.But mostly in spoken Eng the subjects of the dependent and independent clauses are the same.

I dont think there must be a positive phrase infront of the word "unless" .
like this sentence:unless you dont lie,you wont be a good guy.
your sentences were correct :]​

No,after "unless"There should be a positive phrase in American Eng.Because "unless/if not/except under the circumstances that..." has a negative meaning,the phrase must be positive.​

When you want to write a sentence,with the structure and also the meaning of yours,it's suggested to write it this way:
Unless you lie,You'll be a good guy.
skipping the above structure you can also say:

You'll be a good guy except under the circumstances that you lie
or
You'll be a good guy,if you don't lie.​

excuse me,I didnt understand why her second sentence wasnt tru.could you please explain more? :)​

Well,in fact we can't say it's totally incorrect.let's say it's not common.
It's more common that the subjects of the independent and the dependent clauses match.You know,it's better to say "Unless you finish this lesson,you can't pass the final exam".
But yea,saying "Unless this lesson is finished,you can't pass the exam." is fine,but better to use same subjects.
We can check it like this: If this lesson is not finished,you can't pass the exam.
It's a little weird in spoken English,but grammatically correct.

well, I can'nt understand you utterly! ! you mean you're English was perfect And then magicallly(!) turned to a disaster?!
perhaps there was a time that you didt'nt catch up with your studing or someting like that!
i think you might just need to practice more
watching English movies(both with and without English subtitles) Would be efficient!
