「Learn Japanese」 Conditional ば-Form (Verb Conjugation + Adjective and Noun Conjugation)
The ば-Form is a type of conditional form that translates simply to “if.” While it is mainly used as a verb conjugation, it can also be applied to both い-Adjectives and な-Adjectives and even nouns.
The ば-Form for Verbs is divided into three categories: う-Verbs, る-Verbs, and Irregular Verbs.
To conjugate an う-Verb into its ば-Form, take the stem of the う-Verb and add e + ば afterwards.
Example(s):
行く （いく） = 行けば （いけば）
買う （かう） = 買えば （かえば）
読む （よむ） = 読めば （よめば）
To conjugate a る-Verb into its ば-Form, take the stem of the る-Verb and add れば afterwards.
Example(s):
食べる （たべる） = 食べれば （たべれば）
見る （みる） = 見れば （みれば）
ある = あれば
The two irregular verbs for the ば-Form conjugation are 来る （くる） and する which become 来れば（くれば） and すれば respectively.
To conjugate an い-Adjective into its ば-Form, take the stem of the い-Adjective and add ければ afterwards.
Example(s):
新しい（あたらしい） = 新しければ（あたらしければ）
おいしい = おいしければ
寒い （さむい） = 寒ければ （さむければ）
To conjugate な-Adjectives and or Nouns into their ば-Form, take the stem of the な-Adjective or the Noun and add であれば afterwards.
Example(s):
元気 （げんき） = 元気であれば
大切 （たいせつ） = 大切であれば
先生 （せんせい） = 先生であれば
犯人 （はんにん） = 犯人であれば
