A very common pattern (in 'normal' languages like C/Java etc) is like this

if cond1
   statement1
else if cond2
   statement2
else statement3

You could use an if in lisp for this, but many people prefer a cond

(cond (cond1 statement1)
      (cond2 statement2)
      (t statement3)
)

Look up
M-: (info "(elisp)Conditionals")
for how to write that -- getting the number of parentheses right is tricky for beginners.

Also for other neat shortforms like unless, when etc
