こんにちは!
I have a question concerning “If”/たら I was hoping someone could help me with.
Somewhere in Chapter 5 there’s an example sentence that reads:
えいが を み に いきたかったら ”Cineplex” に いきたい です。
If we go to see a movie, I want to go to “Cineplex.”
I’m confused about the first part, specifically the conjugation of “いく” in the first part of the sentence (in bold).
I was expecting it to conjugate to いったら、like in this example a page or two previous:
わたし は とうきょう へ いったら、でんしゃ で いきます
If I go to Tokyo, I will go by train.
Can someone please explain what’s happening with いきたかったら?
Thanks for the help,
-エリク
