Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'Agar' (if) to set a condition and 'to' (then) to describe the result of that condition.

  • Start the condition clause with 'Agar' (अगर).
  • Use 'to' (तो) to bridge the condition and the result.
  • Ensure verb tenses match logically between the two clauses.
Agar + Condition + to + Result

مرور کلی

Hindi real conditionals use agar (अगर) for if and to (तो) for then. For present/future conditions: agar + present/future tense, to + future:
Agar tum aaoge, to hum chalenge
(If you come, then we'll go). The to can be omitted in casual speech.
