Review Summary
- Kdyby + past tense verb (subject) + by-particle
Erreurs courantes
You must use the past tense form of the verb after 'kdybych', not the present.
Do not repeat the 'by' particle. 'Kdybych' already contains the conditional marker.
Czech is a pro-drop language; you don't need the pronoun 'on' if the verb ending is clear.
