You don’t learn hard, you study hard

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 лет назад

Can this mean “if only I had studied harder” and “if only I studied harder”?

David Webbadded a comment 5 лет назад

огромное спасибо ребята 😉😉😉

Hi David and happy new year! I’m still not sure which one this means let’s see what Tatiana says.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 лет назад

Possible interpretations: if only I had studied harder, I would have passed the test. Or If only I studied harder, I would get better grades in school. Which one applies here?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 лет назад

David know best what he meant.
Если бы я усерднее учился, я бы сдал экзамен.
Если бы я усерднее учился, у меня бы были оценки/отметки получше.
As you see, I translated your interpretations. Russian doesn't have the types of conditionals English has, so если бы я учился усерднее can imply both the past and the present. It's only context where you see what time does the action refers to.
