==========================================================

〜たら is a conjugation pattern which expresses a causal relationship. The action or state expressed by the sentence which precedes 〜たら is the condition of the event or situation expressed by the rest of the sentence.

Depending on the context, it is interpreted differently—as time sequences like "when" and "after," or conditions like "if."

Verb 食べます　→　食べた　+　ら　=　食べたら

Noun 夏です　→　夏だった　+　ら　=　夏だったら

な-adjective 静かです　→　静かだった　+　ら　=　静かだったら

い-adjective 難しいです　→　難しかった　+　ら　=　難しかったら

もし あめ がふったら ほん を よみます

Moshi Ame Ga Futtara Hon Wo Yomimasu

If it rains I will read a book

We start with MOSHI to emphasise the conditional at the beginning of the sentence .

We then explain the condition which is “If it rains” あめがふったら

ふる here has been changed to the past form verb ふった and then ら has been added to the end.

もし日本に行ったら日本語を勉強します

moshi nihon ni ittara nihongo o benkyou shimasu

If I go to Japan, I will learn Japanese

The condition here implies that IF the speaker goes to Japan they will study Japanese

コートを着たら、寒くありません。

ko-to wo kitara, samukuarimasen

If i wear a coat, I will not be cold.

This condition here is “wearing a coat”. If that condition is met the speaker will no longer be cold.

If it's cheap, I'd like to buy a computer.
