こんばんわ! Today we studied the conditional form "れば.” We reviewed verb Groups 1 to 3, and then compared reba with the conditional forms we learned earlier: と and たら. We summarized the differences simply as: to → "When A happens, B always happens." (natural result) ba →“If A happens, B will happen." (logical / general) tara → "When/If A happens, then B." (most natural for daily life)
You always ask excellent questions, and I'm truly impressed by your curiosity and depth of thinking. In our next lesson, let's continue exploring how these conditional forms are used differently in real situations.
Thank you for joining the lesson today. Great work, おつかれさまでした。and have a wonderful week. See you again in May!
