One to say “if” in Japanese is with －たら. This is formed by adding ら to the plain-form past of any of the three sentence types. 例： どうし

動詞：食べる→食べたら；行く→行ったら けいようし

形容詞：新しい→あたらしかったら；ない→なかったら めいし

名詞＋だ：車だ→車だったら 例： もっと強く押したら、ドアが開きますよ。 If you push harder, the door will open. Adding どう after a －たら clause makes a suggestion. Literally, it is saying “how would it be if…”. 例： パソコンを使ったらどうですか。 How about using a computer? 次の文章を、「でしょう」を使って日本語で書きなさい: 1.You’d understand if you asked the teacher.
