Bedeutung
Used to express a condition under which something will happen.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Spain, this is used frequently in informal social planning. Mexicans often use 'siempre y cuando' as a very common alternative. Argentines might use 'con que' for a more casual, punchy version. In professional settings, 'a condición de que' is preferred over 'con tal de que'.
Subjunctive Trigger
Always remember that 'con tal de que' is a trigger for the subjunctive mood. If you use the indicative, it will sound incorrect to native speakers.
Infinitive Shortcut
If you are the subject of both parts of the sentence, drop the 'que' and use the infinitive. It sounds much more natural!
