Back to the past: Si et Quand • Si and Quand are not terms you’ve never used before. In English, we use Ifand Whenin the same ways they are used in French. • If you remind me, I will go • When you behave, I will take you.
Si Clauses + Present • Si Clauses are used when the condition has a possibility of being executed. • Present+PresentSi tuveux, ilpeutvenir chez moi. • Present+ImperativeDonne-le-moi, situpeux. • Present+FutureSi vousterminezaujourd’hui, queferezvous demain.
The Si-clause in the imperfect is different from that of the present. Instead of proposing a possibility if something occurring, it suggests the impossibilities in the result clause. Whenever the si-clause consists of the imperfect the result-clause will be in the present conditional. Imperfect+ conditional present Si vousétudiiez, vousréussiriezaux examens. Si Clause + Imparfait
Si Clause+Plus-que-parfait • The Si-clause with Plus-Que-Parfait results in the past conditional and, unlike the imperfect, it states the possibilities in the past. • Plus-que-parfait + Past Conditional Qu’est-cequevousauriez faitsivousaviezeu un million de dollar?
Quand : Usage • Quand similar to the Si-clause differs in that it uses the Future Antérieur to express an action in the future that precedes another future action. • Quand je seraiarrivée a Paris je voustéléphonerai.
Quand: Examples • Présent+ Présent Quandj’ai le temps, je mange à à la maison. • Futur + Futur Quandilaura le temps, ilviendra nous voir. • Future + Impératif Quandtuauras le temps, va à la boulangerie pour moi. • Future Anterieur +Impératif Quand je seraiarrivée, je saurai la réponse.
