In deiner Muttersprache
Conditions use wenn/falls clauses and may combine with subjunctive forms.
Wenn es regnet, bleibe ich zu Hause.
If it rains, stay I at home.
In Deiner Lernsprache
Englische Bedingungssätze verwenden if, unless, Modalverben, bestimmte Zeitformen und können die Bedingung vor oder nach dem Hauptsatz stellen.
If it rains, we will stay home.
if it rains = Bedingung
Lernende mischen in Bedingungssätzen oft Zeitformen, zum Beispiel if it will rain statt if it rains, oder übersetzen hypothetische Muster zu wörtlich.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
