Expressing "if... then..." with "ruguo... jiu..."

Nível: HSK 3 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

The 如果 ⋯⋯，就⋯⋯ (rúguǒ..., jiù...) two-part structure is very logical and concise, meaning "if... then...." 如果⋯⋯，就⋯⋯ is an often-used pattern that is utilized in the same way that " If…, then… " is in English. In English we sometimes drop then "then" in the second half of the sentence, and you can do the same in Chinese, dropping the 就. 如果 ⋯⋯ ，就 ⋯⋯ Sometimes 那么 (nàme) is used instead of 就 (jiù), imparting a more relaxed, informal feel to the sentence. Sometimes just 那 (nà) will be used instead of 那么 (nàme).
