Let's create a story using "if-sentences", Spanish only

Have a look at this thread, we did this on our voice chat session on Saturday, and it might be a good idea to follow up on the idea .

This is for beginners, but everybody is invited to participate, maybe the more advanced people can come up with funny ideas, wink

You can use either:

ir a + verb,

for example:

(comer)

Voy a comer..

or future simple:

comeré

So the idea is this:

So in Spanish:

Si voy a Londres, voy a hablar inglés.

Si hablo inglés, puedo visitar a Marianne.

Si visito a Marianne, conoceré a su marido.

Si conozco a su marido, ¡le gustaré mucho!

As you can see, the idea is to follow up from the last post, so it is essential to click on newest!!

Ok, I will start with:

Si viajo a Estados Unidos, voy a visitar a Mariannegrin

Is it legal to do it in vise versa? Like, Future simple and ir a + verb? - DJ_Huero, Mar 29, 2011
In English it is - you just leave out the comma. - ian-hill, Mar 29, 2011
Yea, but I'm trying to follow the rules so Heidita doesn't beat me up. ;-P - DJ_Huero, Mar 29, 2011
By the way Heidi, small typo, "Si hablo **inglés**..." =) - DJ_Huero, Mar 29, 2011
Thank you Heidi for reopening this thread. - sanlee, Mar 29, 2011
Ditto sanlee.... this is like the story that never ends.... yes, it goes on and on my friend.... ;-P - DJ_Huero, Mar 29, 2011

Hmm.....I've more often heard "muela." Interesting. - --Mariana--, Apr 4, 2011
The implication is that if I drink a whole bottle of champagne, I will get so drunk that I might end up... - 002067fe, Apr 5, 2011
...like Stu in "The Hangover" ,who on a dare pulled out his own tooth with pliers. Muela o diente...doesn't make a difference in this scenario... - 002067fe, Apr 5, 2011
