Answer 1

Please don’t double posting your question, you can always edit your post.
If possible, please bring the code you posted in this thread.

Back to your question, IF works independently but ELSE and ELIF work depend on IF, and ELSE / ELIF is placed at the same level as IF.
Example 1:
if 1000 > 600:
print("Yes")
# display "Yes"

Example 2:
if 600 > 1000:
print("Yes")
else:
print("No")
# display "No"

Example 3:
if 600 > 1000:
print("Yes")
else:
print("No")
# Syntax Error

Talha Lut Salam ,

generally speaking, indentation is used to give a structure and scope of code blocks. it is used in this cases:

1. indentation is required when using:
> loops (`for ...` loop, `while ...` loop, `with ...` context manager)
> conditional statements (`if`, `elif`, `else`)
the indented lines are considered as a part of the block

2. function definition:
> the indented lines are considered as a part of the function.

3. exception handling:
> `try`, `except`, `else`, `finally`
> the indented lines are considered as part of the above mentioned blocks

3. indentation is also used for:
> classes
> nested code blocks
