Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
'In the event that' is a formal substitute for 'if', used primarily in legal, professional, or emergency contexts.
- Use it for unlikely but possible future scenarios: 'In the event that it rains, the gala moves indoors.'
- Follow 'that' with a full clause (subject + verb): 'In the event that the alarm sounds...'
- Do not confuse with 'in the event of', which requires a noun: 'In the event of rain...'
مرور کلی
In the event that یکی از ساختارهای شرطی بسیار رسمی در زبان انگلیسی است که به عنوان جایگزینی دقیق و جدی برای واژه if عمل میکند. در حالی که if یک احتمال کلی را معرفی میکند، in the event that به طور خاص یک موقعیت آینده را به عنوان یک «احتمال پیشبینیشده» (Contingency) قاببندی میکند. این عبارت سیگنال میدهد که یک پروتکل، پیامد یا پاسخ مشخص از قبل برای زمانی که آن اتفاق خاص رخ دهد، در نظر گرفته شده و برنامهریزی شده است.in the event that کلید عبور از جملات شرطی روزمره و ورود به زبان ظریف گفتمان حرفهای و آکادمیک است.if it rains یک پیشبینی ساده آب و هوایی است، جمله in the event that the flood barriers are breached (در صورتی که سدهای سیلگیر شکسته شوند) عبارتی است که یک پاسخ اضطراری از پیش تعیینشده و خاص را فعال میکند. انتخاب این کلمات به خودی خود نشان میدهد که طرحی وجود دارد که منتظر اجراست.in the event that به عنوان یک «حرف ربط وابستهساز» (Subordinating Conjunction) عمل میکند. این عبارت یک جمله پیرو (Dependent Clause) را معرفی میکند که شرط خاصی را برای جمله پایه یا اصلی (Independent Clause) تعیین میکند. اصل اساسی حاکم بر این ساختار، رسمیسازی رابطه علت و معلولی است.in the event that است و «معلول» همان پاسخ از پیش تعیینشده در جمله اصلی است.if (اگر)، عبارت in the event that با آن شرط به عنوان یک «رویداد» (Event) مجزا و قابل تعریف برخورد میکند. این نوع قاببندی ابهام را از بین میبرد و دلالت بر این دارد که موقعیت مورد نظر تحلیل و برای آن برنامهریزی شده است.In the event that a payment is missed... (در صورتی که پرداختی انجام نشود...)، «عدم پرداخت» را به عنوان یک محرک خاص و قابل تایید برای یک پیامد قراردادی تعریف میکند.in the event that در زمان حال ساده (Simple Present) میآید، حتی اگر به یک احتمال در آینده اشاره داشته باشد. سپس جمله اصلی از یک فعل وجهی (Modal Verb) مانند will ،must ،should یا may یا یک فعل امری (Imperative) برای بیان نتیجه برنامهریزی شده استفاده میکند.- شرط کلی (
if):If you have a problem, you can email support.(اگر مشکلی داشتید، میتوانید به پشتیبانی ایمیل بزنید). این یک توصیه مفید و منعطف است، اما یک پروتکل رسمی نیست. - طرح احتمالی (
in the event that):In the event that you encounter a critical system error, you must contact the IT department.(در صورتی که با یک خطای بحرانی سیستم مواجه شوید، باید با بخش فناوری اطلاعات تماس بگیرید). این یک دستورالعمل خاص برای یک مشکل جدی و از پیش تعریف شده است که نشان میدهد یک رویه رسمی در جریان است.
will / shall | بیان یک نتیجه قطعی و حتمی. | In the event that the primary server fails, the backup server will automatically take over. |must / should | اعمال یک وظیفه یا توصیه اکید. | In the event that you forget your password, you must use the 'Forgot Password' link. |may / might | بیان یک نتیجه احتمالی (نه تضمینی). | Service interruptions may occur in the event that we perform unscheduled maintenance. |In the event that the alarm sounds, evacuate the building immediately. |in the event that ساخته میشوند، از یک الگوی قابل اعتماد و سختگیرانه پیروی میکنند. این عبارت باید توسط یک جمله کامل شامل فاعل و فعل دنبال شود. زمان این فعل یک قانون غیرقابل مذاکره است.in the event that میآید، هنگام اشاره به یک رویداد در آینده، همیشه در زمان حال ساده است. شما نباید از زمان آینده مانند will یا be going to استفاده کنید. این دقیقاً مشابه ساختار شرطی نوع اول است.- درست:
In the event that the session runs over time, the following session will be shortened. - نادرست:
*In the event that the session will run over time...(اشتباه رایج فارسیزبانان به دلیل ترجمه ذهنی «اگر جلسه طول بکشد») - درست:
The company will issue a statement in the event that the merger is approved. - نادرست:
*The company will issue a statement in the event that the merger will be approved.

In the event that the tenant fails to pay rent for two consecutive months, the landlord reserves the right to begin eviction proceedings. (در صورتی که مستاجر برای دو ماه متوالی اجاره را پرداخت نکند، موجر حق آغاز مراحل تخلیه را برای خود محفوظ میدارد).- سیاستها و رویههای رسمی (Official Policies and Procedures)

The experiment will be immediately halted in the event that the subject shows any signs of distress.- ارتباطات تجاری رسمی (Formal Business Communication)
In the event that unforeseen circumstances cause a delay, we will notify you at the earliest opportunity.in the event that در موقعیتهای روزمره و غیررسمی اجتناب کنید. این کار باعث ایجاد تضاد ناخوشایند و اغلب مضحک در لحن میشود.- نامناسب:

In the event that it rains, we can eat inside.(برای یک مهمانی خانوادگی یا دورهمی) - طبیعی:
If it rains, we can eat inside.
will یا شکل دیگری از آینده در جمله شرطی بعد از in the event that است. این ساختار دقیقاً مانند شرطی نوع اول، برای اشاره به شرطی در آینده مستلزم استفاده از حال ساده است. در ذهن ما فارسیزبانان، چون اتفاق در آینده میافتد، تمایل داریم از will استفاده کنیم، اما در انگلیسی این یک خطای گرامری است.- اشتباه:
*A backup generator will activate in the event that the power will fail. - درست:
A backup generator will activate in the event that the power fails.
in casein case برای پیشگیری (انجام کاری *قبل* از وقوع مشکل احتمالی) است، در حالی که in the event that برای واکنش احتمالی (پاسخی که *فقط اگر* مشکل رخ دهد، داده میشود) است. زمانبندی اقدام اصلی در این دو کاملاً متفاوت است.in case | پیشگیری. شما همین الان کاری انجام میدهید تا برای احتمالی در آینده آماده باشید. | I'll take an umbrella in case it rains. (یعنی: چتر را الان برمیدارم چون ممکن است بعداً باران ببارد. عمل برداشتن چتر قبل از باران است.) |in the event that | واکنش. اقدام جمله اصلی *تنها در صورتی* انجام میشود که شرط محقق شود. | In the event that it rains, the match will be cancelled. (یعنی: لغو مسابقه فقط زمانی اتفاق میافتد که باران شروع شود. این واکنشی به باران است.) |in the event that در مقایسه با سایر ساختارهای شرطی، به جدول زیر توجه کنید. این مقایسه به شما کمک میکند تا بر اساس میزان رسمیت و هدف جمله، گزینه درست را انتخاب کنید.If | خنثی / عمومی | احتمال کلی | If you need help, ask me. |In the event that | بسیار رسمی | پروتکل و واکنش برنامهریزی شده | In the event that assistance is required, please contact the supervisor. |In case | خنثی / رسمی | پیشگیری و احتیاط | Take a key in case I'm out. |Provided that | رسمی | شرط لازم و ضروری (فقط اگر) | You can go provided that you finish your work. |Should (Inversion) | بسیار رسمی | احتمال ضعیف (ادبی) | Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us. |In the event of:in the event that با یک جمله (فاعل + فعل) دنبال میشود، اما in the event of با یک اسم یا عبارت اسمی دنبال میشود. هر دو معنای یکسانی دارند اما ساختار متفاوتی را میطلبند.In the event that the flight is delayed...(ساختار مورد بحث ما)In the event of a flight delay...(استفاده از اسم)

بهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Learners use 'that' with nouns or 'of' with clauses.
Both are formal, but inversion is even more formal and omits 'if' or 'in the event that'.
'In case' is used for precautions (doing something *before*), whereas 'in the event that' is for reactions (doing something *after*).

سوالات متداول (8)
Technically yes, but it would sound very strange and sarcastic. Stick to `if` for texting.
No. `In case` is for preparation (I'll take a coat in case it rains). `In the event that` is for a reaction (In the event that it rains, we will go inside).
Yes, if the 'in the event that' clause comes first, use a comma before the main clause. Example: `In the event that it rains, we will cancel.`
No, just like with `if`, you should use the present simple to talk about the future. Say `In the event that he arrives`, not `In the event that he will arrive`.
`In the event of` is shorter and used with nouns (In the event of fire). It's very common on signs where space is limited.
Yes, it is very common in American legal documents and formal business settings.
Adding `should` (In the event that it should rain) makes the event sound even less likely and more formal.
Yes, it is perfectly appropriate for academic writing when discussing hypothetical conditions or results.
