But then you would use when instead of if, which is conditional. If (when:) someone says "Jag blir arg om han kommer hit" the correct translation is usually "I will get angry if he comes here/should he come here". Future tense statements are often expressed in present tense. That's an important point about the Swedish language. “I get angry if he comes here” can mean “Every time I see that guy around here I get angry.” But then you would use when instead of if, which is conditional.
