PowerShell - The FALSE Half of an IF Statement

After beating my head against my desk for the last four hours (have mercy on me, it's Monday), it finally dawned on me to try this as a script and it works. However, when I'm writing, I generally just take my code and copy-and-paste into a PS window, and there's where I was having a problem. The ELSE part of the IF statement would just display as text, even if the IF was actually FALSE. Just wondering if anyone can explain why.

if(test-path$objUser.HomeDirectory){Write-Host"$($objUser.HomeDirectory) already exists. Setting permissions..."-ForegroundColorRed}# else{#NEW-ITEM –path $objuser.HomeDirectory -type directory -forceWrite-Host"$($objUser.HomeDirectory) not there. Creating folder and setting permissions..."-ForegroundColorRed}
