Abstract
First step to understanding and studying Persian literary heritage is to know historical grammar and specially sentences as the most important part of the speech. it is known that conjunctions play important role in the complex sentences. Writers of this essay have studied the conjunctions such as "if, otherwise (but), unless "and shown that there were three types of if condition with different structure and meaning. The research also indicates the subordinating phrases they made like "if…then "or "if…if not or unless "in selected Persian literary proses until 14th century. It is shown that there were many different complex sentences with the various subordinators which each of them expressed quite specific meaning. Some of these structures have still remained; some changed or faded during the time. The research can help scholars to define the time of historical works as well as reanimating these structures to make the contemporary Persian literature wealthier
