Week 35, Lesson 69, Monday
Make plans with е́сли
English says if it is warm, we will go. Russian is more logical: if it will be warm, we will go. Both halves in the future.

3The lesson 20 minutes
If …, then …
Two plans, two kinds of weather.
| Russian | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Е́сли за́втра бу́дет тепло́, мы пое́дем на да́чу. | If it's warm tomorrow, we'll go to the dacha. |
| Е́сли пойдёт дождь, мы оста́немся до́ма. | If it rains, we'll stay at home. |
| Е́сли хо́чешь, пойдём вме́сте. | If you like, let's go together. |
For the future, both halves take the future: бу́дет … пое́дем. тогда́ can start the result: then.
