ミックスの if(あの) Mixed Conditionals: Then and Now in One Sentence

Conditionals & Subjunctive

「あのああしていたら、ごろ〜なのに」は、if が would + のミックス。If I had taken that job, I would be in New York now. ではなく、んでいるだけです。

"If I'd done that back then, I'd be … now" mixes the patterns: past perfect in the if-clause, plain would in the result. If I had taken that job, I would be in New York now. No new formula to memorize — each clause simply picks its own time.

ごとに

Each Clause Picks Its Own Clock

は2種類ずつしかありません。if は「=」か「had done =」。は「would do =」か「would have done =」。この2×2をわせてむだけで、ミックスにできあがります。「3文型」としてするはありません。

There are only two parts per slot. If-clause: past form (unreal now) or had done (unreal past). Result clause: would do (result now) or would have done (result then). Combine the 2×2 to fit the situation and mixed conditionals build themselves — no third-conditional-variant tables required.

A past fork, a present view

If I had この 実際にはそうならなかったことをはまったくじだが、う——をさかのぼっているのではなく、することをべている。 taken that job, I would be in New York now.

あの仕事けていたら、ごろニューヨークにいるんだろうな。

(had taken)→(would be ... now)。 Past fork (had taken) → present result (would be … now).

If I weren't so busy, I would have この + have + で、のことについてのす。should have=すればよかった()、must have=〜だったにいない()、would have=もし〜なら〜だっただろう()。 come to the なぜ the なのか 【そのつにまる】 のいるで、どれをすかつにまるから the。日本語なら「(の)」「うちの」をってむとい。 party.

こんなにしくなければ、パーティーにけたのに。

ミックス: (weren't)→(would have come)。 The reverse mix: present state (weren't) → past result (would have come).

If we hadn't この 実際にはそうならなかったことをはまったくじだが、う——をさかのぼっているのではなく、することをべている。 met, my life would be completely different.

あなたとっていなかったら、はまるでっていただろうね。

のミックス。 The classic life-story mix.

would have done()

した The result played out back then, too.

If I had studied, I would have passed.

していたら、かっていたのに。

would do + now()

いている。now が The result is still with you — now is the telltale.

If I had studied, I would have a better job now.

していたら、ごろもっといい仕事いているのに。

よくある Common Mistake

If I had taken that job, I would have been rich now.

あの仕事けていたら、ごろちなのに。(のつもりで)

If I had taken that job, I would be rich now.

あの仕事けていたら、ごろちなのに。

が「」なら would + です。would have been にするとりにみ、now とのねじれがまれます。「now がいたら have をう」とチェックするとります。ただし by now をう would have been ... by now(はもう〜だったろう)はとして使われるので、かけてもりではありません。

A present result usually takes plain would; add have and the result sinks pastward, twisting against the now. Quick check: see a now, question the have. One caveat — would have been … by now is an established, perfectly normal pattern, so don't mark it wrong when you meet it.

  • would be ... by now ごろは〜だったのに 」を調する by now。ミックス By now spotlights the present result — the mix's best friend.
  • if it hadn't been for ... 〜がなかったら 「〜がなければ」。if it weren't for のペア。 The past-tense partner of if it weren't for.
  • I wouldn't be here without ... 〜がなければはない 、というのミックス Past kindness, present self — gratitude's favorite mix.
  • even if たとえ〜だったとしても めてもわらない、とりする if の Concedes the condition and keeps the result anyway — if, reinforced.

まとめ Summary

  • は2×2: if (/had done)×(would do/would have done)。 The 2×2 kit: if-clause (past / had done) × result (would do / would have done).
  • 「あの」= had done + would do now。 Then-to-now: had done + would do … now.
  • now がいたら have をう(by now の)。 See a now, question the have — the by now idiom is the exception.
  • でなくえると、どのわせもれる。 Think parts, not pattern numbers — every combination becomes buildable.
