The general form of an if/then/else/fi statement is:
if [[ some_test ]]then what_to_do_when_some_test_is_true (0)else what_to_do_when_some_test_is_false (not 0)fi
As always in bash, clauses (technically commands themselves) can be put on one line if separated by a semicolon ( ; ).
if [[ some_test ]]; then echo "Test was true"; else echo "Test was false"; fi
