🎯

The 'If' Clause Rule

Never put 'бих' or 'щях' in the 'ако' part. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.

💡

The 'Щ' Rule

Remember that all future-related words in Bulgarian start with 'Щ' (ще, щях, щеше). If you are talking about a 'would have', you need the 'щ'!

🎯

The 'Comma' Rule

Always put a comma between the inverted condition and the result. It helps the reader distinguish it from a question.

Comma usage

Always put a comma after the 'Ако не' clause. It separates the condition from the result.

Review Summary

  • If + past, would + verb
  • If + had past, would have + past

자주 하는 실수

You must use the past tense in the 'if' clause for Type 2 conditionals, even when referring to the present.

Wrong: Ако имам пари, бих купил кола.
정답: Ако имах пари, бих купил кола.

Both parts of a Type 3 conditional must use the conditional/past perfect structure.

Wrong: Ако бях купил билет, отивам на концерта.
정답: Ако бях купил билет, щях да отида на концерта.

Ensure the 'if not' clause maintains the correct conditional tense sequence.

Wrong: Бих отишъл, ако не знаех.
정답: Бих отишъл, ако не бях знаел.
