Con tal de que......y A condición de que....

Question

Con tal de que tengas dinero,preste me 10 dolares. A condición de que tengas dinero,preste me 10 dolares.

Are they both correct and mean the samething?

To express ´as long as´, con tal de que.....,,a condición de que..... Right?

Answer 1

In this case it would be préstame because you are using the tú form in the rest of the sentence. Another one is "siempre que", and another "siempre y cuando".

Answer 2

In this context you probably want to borrow money from a friend, so the phrases Con tal de que / siempre que both work well.

Siempre y cuando is a little more formal, good for asking someone you know but not necessarily a friend.

A condición de que is more formal yet as something you would find in a legal document, rules, etc. I would not use this expression in this context.

Answer 3

Yes they are correct but you´ve got a problem. We don´t write preste me we write presteme.
