To outline what to do in specific scenarios, Russian relies on two main structures based on в случае (in case of).
В случае (In case of) + Noun
When followed directly by a noun, use the preposition в случае. It always requires the following noun to be in the Genitive case.
| In case of a fire, the quest will end immediately. | В случае пожара квест немедленно закончится. |
| In case of a violation of the rules, we will block the door. | В случае нарушения правил мы заблокируем дверь. |
| In case of an evacuation, you need to find three codes. | В случае эвакуации вам нужно найти три кода. |
В случае если (In the event that) + Clause
If the condition is a full dependent clause with a subject and a verb, use the conjunction в случае если. When establishing protocols for things that might happen, the verbs describing these conditions are typically conjugated in the future tense.
| In the event that you find this code, do not lose it. | В случае если вы найдёте этот код, не потеряйте его. |
| In the event that you have difficulties, we will give two hints. | В случае если у вас будут затруднения, мы дадим две подсказки. |
| In the event that the actor blocks the exit, contact the administrator! | В случае если актёр заблокирует выход, свяжитесь с администратором! |
