JLPT N3 Grammar

もしも〜たら

N3Condition

N3 · Condition · もしも + plain form过去 + ら

if; supposing that

もしも + plain form过去 + ら

Introduces a hypothetical condition, with stronger emphasis than plain もし on 'if it really happened.' Common for imagination, worry, or advice.

The following clause can express intention, advice, conjecture, or command, as long as it fits the hypothetical context.

もしも道に迷ったら、すぐに駅員に聞いてください。

If you get lost, please ask a station staff member right away.

Do not omit たら; もしも only signals a hypothesis, while たら forms the condition.

もしも opens the hypothetical door; たら completes the condition.
