如果/只要/只有/即使 + result connector
Match each condition word to the logic of the result.
如果明天下雨，我们就改时间。
When to use Condition Chains
HSK 4 condition chains often combine possibility, sufficiency, necessity, or concession. The result connector changes with the logic: 就, 才, 也.
只要你提前告诉我，我就能安排。
As long as you tell me in advance, I can arrange it.
即使很忙，我也会参加。

如果有问题，就马上联系我。
If there is a problem, contact me immediately.
Common traps
- Do not use 才 after every condition; reserve it for necessity.
- 即使 usually needs 也 or 还 in the result.
- Long condition chains need punctuation and clear clause boundaries.
