12.7 Conjunctions of condition - 2


12.7.3 si ... que = if / in case ... that
Si je lui dis que j' ai menti elle sera fâchée.
  If / in case I tell her that I have song , she will be upset.
Si je lui disais que j' avais menti, elle serait fâchée.
  If / in case I told her that I have song , she would be upset.
Si je lui avais dit que j' avais menti, elle aurait été fâchée.
  If / in case I had told her that I have song , she would have been upset.

Actually these are conditional clauses as we have seen them already in chapter 9. Later on we will also discuss the sequence of tenses, which actually is to be seen in these examples as well.
