Todays grammar point is the subordinate conjunction to which is used to create conditional sentences,
and therefore, is sometimes referred to as the to-conditional. Formation of sentences with the subordi-
nate conjunction to is as follows: sentence1 to sentence2. If the condition set in the subordinate clause is
Iulflled, sentence2 will take place. The to conditional implies that sentence2 is a natural and/or expected
consequence of sentence1. Sentence1 should be in the plain present tense, as the tense of the sentence is
determined by the tense of sentence2.
Formation:
V.plain +to
, au +to - If someone/something meets
,1/' awanai +to - If someone/something doesnt meet
i-adj +to
1'`' oishii to - If something is delicious
1'`/' oishikunai to - If something is not delicious
na-adj +da +to
'shiawase da to - If someone/something is happy
':/'`/'shiawase dewa nai/ja nai to - If someone/something is not happy
noun +da +to
sensei da to - If someone/something is a teacher
:/'`/'sensei dewa nai/ja nai to - If someone/something is not a teacher
Examples:
{,'_]./,
Kare to au to itsumo benky ni naru.
When I meet him, I always learn something.
1'`/'/',
Oishikunai to niao to konai.
If its not delicious, we wont come again.
,/'.|.1/'
Hayaku ie o denai to densha ni maniawanai yo!
If you dont leave quickly, you wont catch the train!
When using this structure, the second sentence cannot be one of the following: a command, request, sug-
gestion, an invitation, or a volitional sentence.
