In Japanese,there are several ways of expressing the relation of continuation and consecutive auxiliary「たら」is one of them,whose usages are various.For instance,the「たら」can be used for definite conditions,for postulated conditions and for counterfactual conditions.The「たら」for definite conditions has four usages,namely,discovery,manifestation,reaction and continuation.The「たら」for definite conditions is mainly used for expressing the speaker's direct experience;thus,by using「たら」 in the conversation to understand its function of the four usages for definite conditions,we can better master and employ「たら」.
