10課

〜たら(具体条件)

接続:Vた形/い形〜かったら/な形・N + だったら + ら
If / when… then… — most flexible. It is both a hypothetical condition and 'after A happens, B'.
注意 / Note:The latter is the most free of the four conditions: being able to use orders, requests, inducements, and will. When in doubt, たら is usually safe.
比較 / Compare:家に帰ったら電話します(after returning — definitely happening)/宝くじが当たったら(if hit — hypothetical).
よく出る形 / Common form:Vた形+ら、〜てください/〜ましょう/〜たいです。
家に帰ったら、すぐに電話します。
