Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

@last lark use threads

[drowsy aurora]

it would be future, if your first clause is present tense, but that wouldn't really make sense

[topaz shadow]

I mean it's not very common to use the present after si anyway

[drowsy aurora]

it would make more sense to say "si j'avais beaucoup d'argent..."

[topaz shadow]

And if it's future and certain you wanna use quand, not si

Quand j'aurai de l'argent, j'achèterai...

With the present it's like "whenever"

Si j'ai de l'argent, je le dépense

[drowsy aurora]

i think they're thinking more of the form "si mon équipe gagne le match, je serai très content"

[topaz shadow]

Oh yea

I think that's different bc it's not hypothetical like having money

[drowsy aurora]

yeah

on peut dire "si je découvre aujourd'hui que mon compte bancaire est plein d'argent, je serai content"

[topaz shadow]

I still think it should be future tense bc if you use present it means whenever

[topaz shadow]

That implies it's totally possible

[drowsy aurora]

évidemment

"si tu veux aller au bar ça me va" is present + present
"Si tu penses que c'est trop je peux en mettre moins"

Basically if you're talking about a current possibility based on if something is already true or not
