JLPT N4 Grammar

ば

N4Condition

N4 · Condition · verbば形

...; the result is a corresponding result

verbば形

ば sets the first clause as a condition and gives the result or judgment under that condition.

Strong commands or volitional statements are not always natural after it; first learn it for general conditions.

春になれば、桜が咲きます。

When spring comes, cherry blossoms bloom.

Adjectives also have ば forms, such as 安ければ.

ば feels like 'if this condition holds.'
