And like you said, 'or else' is a bit different, so if you want to say 'you have to study hard, or you will fail the test' - in Korean that's '공부를 열심히 하지 않으면 떨어질 거예요.' :) So as you can see that's -지 않으면. :) or 그렇지 않으면 :) Jeroen :)

Is it true that you always have to use this 거나 twice and then finish the sentence with some extra verbs? So when you say 'I could take the car or the bike', do you have to say: 차로 가거나 자전거로 가거나 해요. Or something, I don't even know how to finish that sentence. Of course you can say: 차나 자전거로 가요. (At least I think) but that's not what I mean here. Like, is it possible to just say 차로 가거나 자전거로 가요. 내일 공부하거나 영화를 볼 거예요. Also, can you use this to 'or' two (grammatically) unrelated sentences? Like.. Should I rent the movie or are we going to have dinner first? And I suppose the 'or else' construction is really different in Korean right? Like: You have to study hard, or you will fail the test.
