In this lesson, we move on to knowable conditional sentences. Predictive sentences state a condition that may or may not happen in the future (open, generic, habitual), or a hypothetical world (counterfactual). Knowable conditional sentences on the other hand states a condition that is (surprise surprise) knowable. So in their essence, predictives predict what would happen if the condition is fulfilled, while knowables know what happened if the condition is fulfilled.

When making knowable conditionals, we always use the conditional copula -(y)sE, attached to the following:

Any tense/aspect/modality marker (e.g. present (unmarked), -(İ)yor, -EcEk, -Dİ, etc.).
After değil.
After var or yok.
After the past copula -(y)Dİ and the evidential copula -(y)mİş.

In this and the next lesson, you will see examples for each listed item.
