In Python, the `if` statement is used to execute a block of code if a certain condition is true, while the `else` statement is used to execute a block of code if the `if` condition is not true.
The basic syntax is as follows:
if condition:
# code to be executed if the condition is true
else:
# code to be executed if the condition is false
```
Here's an example to illustrate the usage:
```python
x = 10
if x > 5:
print("x is greater than 5")
else:
print("x is less than or equal to 5")
In this example, if the condition `x > 5` is true, the first print statement will be executed, otherwise the second print statement will be executed.
