مرور کلی
on condition that یکی از ابزارهای قدرتمند در زرادخانه زبانی شماست که برای بیان یک «شرط لازم و غیرقابل مذاکره» (Strict Stipulation) به کار میرود. این عبارت فراتر از یک if ساده عمل میکند؛ در واقع، وقتی از on condition that استفاده میکنید، در حال ترسیم یک مرز مشخص هستید که تنها در صورت عبور از آن، نتیجه مورد نظر حاصل خواهد شد.on condition that در انگلیسی ایفا میکند. این ساختار در واقع نوعی «تعهد» یا «قرارداد» پنهان را در خود دارد.on condition that به عنوان یک «حرف ربط وابسته-ساز» (Subordinating Conjunction) عمل میکند. وظیفه این حرف ربط، متصل کردن دو بند (Clause) به یکدیگر است: «بند اصلی» (Main Clause) که نتیجه یا اتفاق را بیان میکند، و «بند شرطی» (Conditional Clause) که پیشنیازِ الزامی را تعیین میکند.if ساده، ممکن است شرط تنها یکی از احتمالات باشد، اما با on condition that شرط مطرح شده تنها دروازهای است که اجازه میدهد اتفاق اصلی رخ دهد. اگر شرط محقق نشود، نتیجه به طور خودکار باطل است.- فارسی: «شما میتوانید از این نرمافزار استفاده کنید به شرط آنکه آن را بازنشر نکنید.» (فعل در انتها)
- انگلیسی:
You may use this software on condition that you do not redistribute it.(فعل بلافاصله بعد از فاعل)
on condition that you come. حذف فاعل در این ساختار یکی از اشتباهات رایج فارسیزبانان است که باید به شدت از آن پرهیز کرد.if (شرط ساده) | on condition that (شرط الزامی) |on condition that + بند شرطی- برای نتایج آینده یا حال: اگر بند اصلی به آینده اشاره دارد (با استفاده از
willیا افعال مدال مثلcanوmay)، فعل در بندِon condition thatباید حتماً در زمان حال ساده (Present Simple) باشد. - مثال:
The bank will grant the loan on condition that you provide a guarantor. - (بانک با وام موافقت خواهد کرد به شرط آنکه شما یک ضامن معرفی کنید.)
- *نکته:* در فارسی ما هم از مضارع التزامی (معرفی کنید) استفاده میکنیم که شباهت زیادی به این ساختار دارد.
- برای نتایج گذشته: اگر در حال صحبت درباره توافقی در گذشته هستید، هر دو طرف جمله معمولاً به زمان گذشته میروند.
- مثال:
He was allowed to stay on condition that he kept a low profile. - (به او اجازه اقامت داده شد به شرط آنکه چراغ خاموش حرکت میکرد/جلب توجه نمیکرد.)
On condition that + بند شرطی + (کاما) + بند اصلی- مثال:

will / can) | on condition that | حال ساده | I will help you on condition that you listen. |on condition that | گذشته ساده | They agreed on condition that he resigned. |on condition that | گذشته کامل (برای شرطی که قبلتر باید انجام میشد) | The prize was given on condition that they had registered. |on condition that در یک مهمانی دوستانه یا هنگام چت کردن در تلگرام با دوستان، ممکن است کمی عجیب و بیش از حد رسمی به نظر برسد. این عبارت دقیقاً مانند پوشیدن کت و شلوار رسمی در یک جلسه هیئتمدیره است. در اینجا موقعیتهایی را بررسی میکنیم که این عبارت در آنها میدرخشد:The tenant may keep a pet on condition that any damage is repaired immediately.

I will lend you the money on condition that you will pay me back next week. - درست:
I will lend you the money on condition that you pay me back next week. - چرا این اشتباه رخ میدهد؟ چون ذهن ما میخواهد آینده بودنِ شرط را نشان دهد، اما در انگلیسی، زمان حال ساده در این جایگاه، خودش معنای آینده را حمل میکند.
- نامناسب:
I will eat the kebab on condition that it is not spicy. - طبیعی و بهتر:
