Si what language. Conditional sentences in Spanish. North and South America

How often do we hear these “ifs” and “ifs” in Russian: “If you wash the dishes…”, “If you do your homework…”, “If you graduate from university…”, “If you get more…” - an infinite number of options that we say to each other every day several times. How do you say it in Spanish and use the tenses and moods correctly? This is what I want to tell you today.

We divide all conditional sentences into two large groups: real and surreal(impossible).

Conditional clauses in Spanish are introduced by the union Si(if; is written without stress, do not confuse with an affirmative particle Si- Yes)

Real. Type I conditional sentences

Conditional sentences of the first type are the easiest and are absolutely similar to the same sentences in English: Si + Presente de Indicativo, entonces + Futuro Simple

The main thing to remember for type I conditional sentences in Spanish is: never use after si(if) future tense ( Futuro Simple=Futuro Imperfecto and Futuro Proximo), instead of it, please put Presente de indicativo; tenses in the main sentence are limited only by your imagination and knowledge.

Let's look at a few examples right away:

Si tengo dinero comprare este coche. (1.1)
Si nos acostamos temprano, dormimos major. (1.2)
Si ha llegado te llamara pronto.
Si compraron la revista ayer, ya lo saben todo.

But how in the first two examples to figure out what time was after Si- the future or the present? Look at the main offer. In case (1.1) in the main clause there is Futuro Simple, it is logical to assume that in the subordinate clause after Si action also refers to the future. So, we get: "If I have money, I will buy this car."

In example (1.2), the main sentence contains the present tense of the indicative mood, we can conclude that we are talking about a description of some ordinary actions: “If we go to bed early, then we sleep better” (can be replaced with a temporary subordinate clause: “When we go to bed early we sleep better).

Of course, you can come up with an option in which Futuro will be in the main sentence, in the subordinate clause after Si - Presente and it will be translated into Russian in the same way.

Si educamos hoy a los niños, no tendremos que castigar a los hombres mañana.

If we (bring up) bring up children today, we will not have to punish adults tomorrow.

Note again that all these conditions realistically feasible and the probability of performing an action from the main sentence is 50 to 50 - you just need to fulfill the quite feasible condition specified in the subordinate clause.

Unreal. Type II conditional sentences

Conditional sentences that express the condition are unreal, 100% hypothetical are no less common in everyday speech. Such sentences relating to the present or future are called conditional sentences of the second type. They have a union Si translated as " if».

This type of offer has a fairly clear pattern that should be followed: Si + Imperfecto de Subjuntivo, entonces + Conditional Simple (= Potencial Simple).

It must be understood that in this scheme, both in the main and in the subordinate clause, we are talking about impossible actions:

(Javi se explica muy mal.)
Si se explicara major, le entenderian.

Javi is very bad at explaining. If he explained better, he would be understood.


(No tengo calculadora.)
Si la tuviera, podria resolver el problema.

I don't have a calculator. But if there was, I could solve this problem.


(Vives muy lejos.)
Si vivieras mas cerca, seria mas fácil ir a verte.

You live too far away. If I lived closer, we would see each other more often.

In addition to this model, there are several more possible shades for this type of conditional sentences, which are usually studied at the C1-C2 proficiency level.

Si + Imperfecto de Sunjuntivo, entonces + Imperativo/Presente de Indicativo
It is understood that the condition is doubtfully feasible, moreover, its fulfillment does not depend on us. But suddenly? It is more difficult to translate such a model into Russian, because it is difficult to preserve this connotation of a low probability of an action being carried out in a subordinate clause.

Si llamara Roberto no le digas que estoy.
(Puede que llame Roberto pero no se lo considero muy probable.)

If Roberto suddenly calls, say that I'm not there.
(Perhaps Roberto will indeed call, but in general it doesn’t seem very real to me.)

Si + Imperfecto de Subjuntivo, entonces + Imperfecto de Indicativo
The action in the subordinate clause is impossible, but if for a second we imagine that it suddenly became possible, then what will happen?

Si estuviera, desde luego me escuchaba.
(Sé que no está, pero en caso contrario…)

Unreal. Type III conditional sentences

In its background, this type is similar to the second, the only difference is that the actions in question belong to the past. This type of model is as follows:
Si + Preterito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo, entonces + Condicional Compuesto (Potencial Compuesto)

"Yes" is one of the most used and important words in any language. While it's certainly not the only word you need to know (after all, you need to know what you're agreeing with), it's essential to communication. Every major region of the world has several of the most widely used languages. In most countries in this region, you will probably be able to find someone who understands one of these languages. In addition, it is not uncommon for certain words to sound similar in different languages ​​due to processes of cultural interaction, and due to immigration and colonization in the past, speakers of certain languages ​​can be found all over the world.
