Questions & Answers about Я переделаю расчёт, если орбита будет опасной.
The prefix пере- in переделаю means 'redo'. Does it always mean doing something again?
It frequently means to do something again or differently, acting like the English prefix 're-' (like переписать for rewrite). However, it has other common meanings, such as doing something to excess (like переоценить for overestimate) or moving across a space (like перейти for cross).
Why does Russian use the future tense будет when the English translation says 'if the orbit is dangerous'?
In English, we use the present tense after 'if' even when discussing a future condition. Russian is stricter about time: if the condition is a possibility in the future, you must use the future tense (будет) after если.
Why is опасной in the instrumental case instead of the nominative опасная?
When an adjective follows the future tense of the verb to be (будет), it typically takes the instrumental case. This is standard Russian practice for describing a state or characteristic that a subject will have in the future.
Our current lesson is about using the imperative form as an 'if' clause. Could we rewrite this sentence starting with Будь орбита опасной...?
