Mixed conditionals
የተቀላቀሉ ሁኔታዊ ዓረፍተ ነገሮች (mixed conditionals)
Connect past events with present results, and present facts with past results.
How it works
Mixed conditionals combine different times: a past condition with a present result, or a present situation with a past result.
mixed conditionals የተለያዩ ጊዜያትን ያጣምራሉ፦ ያለፈ ሁኔታን ከአሁን ውጤት ጋር፣ ወይም የአሁን ሁኔታን ካለፈ ውጤት ጋር።
Past condition → present result · ያለፈ ሁኔታ → የአሁን ውጤት
