  • ถ้าไม่ + Verb/Noun

أخطاء شائعة

Missing 'คงจะ' makes the sentence sound like a plan rather than a hypothetical wish.

Wrong: ถ้าฉันรวย จะซื้อบ้าน
صحيح: ถ้าฉันรวย คงจะซื้อบ้าน

You must include 'ให้' when expressing a desire involving a person.

Wrong: อยากฉันไป
صحيح: อยากให้ฉันไป

Adding 'คง' softens the statement to a hypothetical rather than a factual negative.

Wrong: ถ้าไม่ไป ฉันไม่ไป
صحيح: ถ้าไม่ไป ฉันคงไม่ไป
