Formal conditionals can use particles such as إن and verb moods such as jussive.

If you study, you succeed.

Conditions use si-clauses with important tense and mood patterns.
Si tengo tiempo, iré. Si tuviera tiempo, iría.
If I have time, I will go. If I had time, I would go.
Learners often use future after si incorrectly or avoid the imperfect subjunctive.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
