If / in case használata
If / in case
Ezt a két kötőszót nagyon könnyű összekeverni, de ha odafigyelsz nem lesz vele problémád, Úgy a legegyszerűbb elmagyarázni, hogy akkor használj „ in case” mielőtt egy másik esemény bekövetkezne, megelőzöm:
pl.: Keep some extra batteries and bottled water on hand … in case there is an earthquake.
Tartsál kéznél plusz elemeket és vizet, ha földrengés következne be.
Még a földrengés előtt legyen meg!
„If”-t egy esemény bekövetkezése után használj, azaz akkor ha a feltétel mekövetkezett.
pl.: Use the batteries and bottled water …if there is an earthquake.
Használd a elemeket és igyál vizet, ha földrengés lenne.
Csak a földrengés után.
Buy a fire extinguisher … in case there is a kitchen fire
Use the fire extinguisher … if there is a kitchen fire.
Have a first-aid kit on hand … in case you cut yourself.
Use the first-aid kit … if you cut yourself.
