### Provided that: *à condition de*

To express a condition that must be met to achieve a result, use **à condition de** (provided that / on the condition of). 

When the subject of the main action and the condition are the same, **à condition de** is followed directly by an infinitive verb.

If the infinitive is a reflexive verb, change the reflexive pronoun to match the subject of the sentence.
