Just in Case: En caso de que
When exploring alternate dimensions or risking a time paradox, you always need a contingency plan. To express "in case" something happens, use the phrase en caso de que.
Because contingency plans deal with hypothetical events that may or may not actually occur, en caso de que is always followed by the subjunctive mood.
| In case the traveler changes history, let's return to the future. | En caso de que el viajero cambie la historia, regresemos al futuro. |
The main clause—the backup plan itself—can come before or after the en caso de que clause. It is frequently expressed as a command, a future action, or a statement of necessity using verbs like tener que (to have to) or deber (must).
| In case we enter a loop, let's remember what to say. | En caso de que entremos en un bucle, recordemos qué decir. |
| We have to know where to flee in case a paradox occurs. | Tenemos que saber adónde huir en caso de que ocurra una paradoja. |
| In case they open the dimension, we are going to travel to the parallel universe. | En caso de que abran la dimensión, vamos a viajar al universo paralelo. |
| In case you discover an anomaly, you must know how to revert it. | En caso de que descubras una anomalía, debes saber cómo revertirla. |
