Conditional Forms

For all groups, take the last う sound of the verb, and turn it into ~えば。It just means "If I do the verb..."

  • いく -> いけば

For the negative, it has some weird stuff going on. It carries the connotation of regret, or "I wish I didn't do the thing".

  • 食べない -> 食べなければ
    • 僕はこの卵が食べなければ、よかったです -> I wish I hadn't eaten that egg.

This also goes the same for the whole ら construct V
