Grammar Focus:
-(으)면 is used when stating a condition about some fact, daily occurrence, or some repetitive action mentioned later in the sentence, or when supposing an uncertain situation or a situation that has not yet been realized. It means ‘if’, ‘when', or ‘once’ in English. When expressing a supposition, adverbs such as 혹시 and 만일 can also be used. When the verb stem ends in a vowel or ㄹ, -면 is used, and when it ends in a consonant, 으면 is used.
Information about something that happened in the past cannot come before -(으)면 in a sentence. Furthermore, when an action only occurs once, -(으)ㄹ 때 is used.
