Conditional sentences have two parts: the if clause, called the protasis, and the then clause, called the apodosis.
Three markers of the protasis of conditional sentence in Hebrew are [ARABIC TEXT] “if,” [ARABIC TEXT] “when” or “whenever,” and [ARABIC TEXT] “since.”
The apodosis may or may not be introduced by the conjunction [ARABIC TEXT].
The verbal forms in both clauses appear to be in almost free variation; this is because the speaker may view either clause as more or less real (perfective) or irreal (imperfective).
