Expressing "if" with "ruguo... dehua"

Nível: HSK 3 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

如果⋯⋯的话 (rúguǒ... dehuà) is a pattern commonly used in Chinese to express "if." An easy way to remember the pattern's format is that in the full form, the condition is "sandwiched" between 如果 and 的话. 如果 ⋯⋯ 的话 ，(就) ⋯⋯ Note that 就 (jiù) is often optional. For more on using 如果 with 就, check out the "if…, then…" two-part pattern with 如果……就…… . Colloquially, it's also possible to drop the 如果 and just use the 的话 instead to mean "if." 的话 is optional.
