假如……,(就)…… · jiǎrú……, (jiù)……

假如有困难,你一定要告诉我。

Jiǎrú yǒu kùnnan, nǐ yīdìng yào gàosu wǒ.

Express unlikely but possible scenarios and prepare for worst-case situations using 万一...就...

Pattern万一 + unlikely situation,(主语)+ 就 + consequence/precautionUse 万一 to introduce an unlikely but possible scenario that should be prepared for. The second clause often contains a precaution or describes what would happen in that worst case. 万一 literally means "one in ten thousand."

万一我没来,你就自己先去吧。

Wànyī wǒ méi lái, nǐ jiù zìjǐ xiān qù ba.

In case I do not come, just go ahead by yourself.

Conditional Compound: 不管...都/也... (No Matter / Regardless)

不管……,都/也…… · bùguǎn……, dōu/yě……

Express that a result remains the same regardless of any condition using 不管...都/也...

Pattern不管 + condition (with question word / A不A / 是否),主语 + 都/也 + resultUse 不管 to introduce a condition that does not affect the outcome. The condition clause typically contains a question word (谁、什么、哪儿、怎么), an A-not-A form (去不去), or 是否. The result clause must contain 都 or 也 to emphasize "regardless."

不管明天是否下雨,我都要去看他。

Bùguǎn míngtiān shìfǒu xià yǔ, wǒ dōu yào qù kàn tā.

Express unconditional results using the formal pattern 无论...都/也...

Pattern无论 + condition (with question word / A不A / 是否),主语 + 都/也 + resultUse 无论 to introduce a condition that has no effect on the outcome. Like 不管, the condition clause must contain a question word, A-not-A structure, or 是否. The result clause requires 都 or 也. 无论 is more formal and literary than 不管.
