Introduction

You've made it to this lesson! From that, I assume that you're ready for some extreme grammar action...

If I assumed wrong, I apologize, but this lesson is going to be a thicc one. So pull up your grammatical socks and let's go Japanese!

～とすると・としたら・とすれば: If X is the case.../Assuming X...

構成こうせい

  • b

    Casual form verb/い-adjectiveとすると・としたら・とすれば

  • b

    Noun/な-adjectiveだとすると・としたら・とすれば
    Example:
    → お前まえがボブだとしたら...... あの人ひとは一体いったい誰だれなんだよ！
    "If you're Bob... then who the heck is that person!”

The ～とすると・としたら・とすれば patterns mainly make suppositional statements, very similar to the way we say "Supposing X is the case..." in English. (With ～とすると being a bit of an exception.)
