Het heeft de hele dag geregend zodat we niet uit konden<br />

gaan.<br />

out.<br />

De Russische regering heeft het bedrag van de steun<br />

verhoogd opdat de armsten geen honger zullen lijden.<br />

The Russian government has raised the amount of the support so<br />

that (with the purpose that) the poorest won’t suffer from hunger.<br />

12.2.1.5<br />

As in English, als/indien ‘if’ in conditional sentences can be omitted in<br />

higher style and the clause can begin with the verb; the main clause is<br />

then always introduced by dan (see 12.3, note 5):<br />

Was hij gekomen, dan hadden wij het kunnen doen.<br />

Had he come, we could have done it.<br />

Als hij gekomen was, hadden wij het kunnen doen.<br />

If he had come, we could have done it.<br />

Komt er oorlog, dan zullen we het land verlaten.<br />

Should war come, (then) we’ll leave the country.<br />

Als er oorlog komt, zullen we het land verlaten.<br />

If war comes, we’ll leave the country.<br />

See mogen, 11.8.3.1.4.<br />

Note: The following syntactical device can occur in higher style where<br />

the conjunctionless ‘if’ clause comes second:<br />

Vakanties moeten uitzonderlijk zijn, willen ze in die<br />

brochure staan.<br />

Holidays have to be exceptional if they want to appear in that<br />

brochure.<br />

12.2.1.6<br />

The translation of English ‘when’ into Dutch is a complex issue.<br />

There are three words: wanneer, als, toen. Wanneer is always used in<br />

interrogative clauses both direct and indirect:<br />

Wanneer komt hij thuis? Ik weet niet wanneer hij thuiskomt.<br />

When is he coming home? I don’t know when he is coming home.<br />
