Herkese merhaba.Bu gün harika bir şiir ile Türkçe’de “if clause” cümlelerini
öğreneceğiz. Hadi başlayalım!
Koşul veya şart kelimeleri İngilizce’de “condition” demek.
Türkçe’de if clause yani koşul cümlesi kurmak aslında çok kolay: sadece if
clause cümlesinin sonuna -sa/-se koşul ekini getiriyoruz. Şu örneğe bakalım :
Yağmur yağar > It rains
Dışarı çıkmam. > I don’t go out.
Koşul cümlemiz “ yağmur yağar”.Yani bu cümlenin sonuna -sa /-se ekini
getiriyoruz.
Yağmur yağarsa dışarı çıkmam. > It means “If it rains ,I won’t go out.”
