@Ellen-83,
Do/Don't do something in some fashion demanded/prohibited by someone otherwise/or something else will not happen.

EXAMPLES:

Say "could you pretty please", otherwise/or I won't help you, Ellen.

Wash my lunch dishes for me, otherwise/or you won't get to watch TV.

Give me $20 otherwise/or you won't get a ride home in my car.

Don't say I'm a nasty guy otherwise/or you won't get a ride home in my car.

Study harder otherwise/or you'll flunk/you'll not pass.


Now try to create some examples for yourself otherwise the meaning may be lost to you.

Use your own life for some examples and the meaning will set better in your brain.

Example:

I'd better clean my room otherwise my mom will be angry.
