Korean grammar - Past hypotheticals - 았/었다면 |
|||
|
|||
Pattern: Verb stem + 았/었다면 The present tense hypothetical 'if' pattern 다면 can be rendered into the past using Verb stem + 았/었다면. This is the same regardless of whether it is an action, descriptive or 'to be' verb. Note however that in Korean if we want to say 'If X had…then X would have' we use the future tense for the second clause. |
