A condition and a consequence

A group compares two newly composed Italian sentences: „Se piove, resto a casa“ and „Se piovesse, resterei a casa.“ The teacher asks for a contextual explanation rather than a universal rule that every clause with se uses a conditional. One learner wants to replace piovesse with pioverebbe simply because the situation is hypothetical. Another reads a separate sentence, „Luca sarà partito“, and labels sarà partito as conditional because the speaker may be making a guess. A third notices that the meaning of uncertainty and the morphological label are different issues. The task requires identifying each form, locating the condition and consequence and explaining why an epistemic use does not change the form’s conjugation. The exercise gives no actual weather forecast or independently verified information about Luca’s location.
