Overview
तुम इसका उपयोग कर सकते हो, लेकिन मेरी प्रोफ़ाइल मत बदलना!. औपचारिक अंग्रेजी में, हम इसके लिए on condition that का उपयोग करते हैं। यह एक मौखिक अनुबंध की तरह है। यह केवल if कहने से कहीं अधिक मजबूत है। आप इसका उपयोग तब करते हैं जब नियम बहुत सख्त होता है। इसे एक कर्मचारी से बात करने वाले बॉस की तरह सोचें। या एक वकील जो एक दस्तावेज़ लिख रहा है। यह गंभीर और आधिकारिक लगता है। भले ही यह फैंसी लगे, आप भी इसका उपयोग कर सकते हैं!if शब्द का 'बॉस मोड' है। बस इसका उपयोग पानी के गिलास मांगने जैसी छोटी चीजों के लिए न करें। इससे आप किसी फिल्म के विलेन की तरह लग सकते हैं। 'मैं तुम्हें पानी दूंगा, इस शर्त पर कि तुम मुझे एक डॉलर दो!' शांत हो जाइए, डॉ. ईविल।
Formation Pattern
on condition that वाक्यांश जोड़ें।
I will go to the party (परिणाम) on condition that (योजक) you drive me home (नियम)।
you drive कहते हैं, you will drive नहीं। यह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है! भले ही पार्टी कल हो, नियम सरल वर्तमान का उपयोग करता है। यह पहले सशर्त (first conditional) की तरह ही है। मुख्य क्लॉज + on condition that + विषय + सरल वर्तमान। आप शर्त को शुरुआत में भी रख सकते हैं। On condition that you pay, I will help you। लेकिन इसे बीच में रखना अधिक सामान्य है। यह बातचीत में बेहतर लगता है। that शब्द को न भूलें। कुछ लोग इसे छोड़ देते हैं, लेकिन इसके साथ यह बेहतर लगता है। यह उस गोंद की तरह है जो वाक्य को एक साथ रखता है। गोंद के बिना, आपका 'अनुबंध' टूट सकता है!
