If もし
For simplicity, we will take the "understandable but not totally correct" approach. To say "if..." start with もし moshi. To be "totally correct" you should also change the end of the verb to a ～ば ba, たら tara, or なら nara or some other conditional. You will need to know the "totally correct" forms later but for now just concentrate on adding the moshi.
