Study Notes
Conditional Sentences
- Conditional sentences can be translated in three ways, although the meaning doesn't change significantly.
- The condition is the "if" part, and the result is the "then" part.
- You use "if" or "when" for these sentences.
- "If," "when" is used for these sentences.
Rules for "if"
- "If" is usually placed before the result clause.
- Both the condition and result are on the same line (in the same clause).
Rules for "when"
- "when" can be used instead of "if"
- The "when" clause doesn't include the verb in the "result" part.
- It will be translated as the present tense.
