How to write a nested if, or evaluate statement

Question

Cobol has the "evaluate" statement, which replaces nested if.
It goes like this:
Evaluate X
When < 0, do this
When >=0 and <5, do this
When >=5 and <10, do this
Is there any way to write something like this for a cell in Numbers?  How can I write a nested if to accomplish something like this?

Action4 would cover cases of X>=10. It is optional.
Well...kind of optional.  If X>=10 but there is no "Action4", the formula result will be a boolean FALSE. So it is optional only if X is never going to be >=10. But if that is the case, you don't need the last IF statement at all, you would put "Action3" as the "if false" parameter of the second IF statement.
=IF(x<0, action1, if(x<5, action2, action3))
if X<0 then action 1
else if X>=0 and X<5 then action 2
else action 3
