Understand

Build the pattern

Sentence formula

Nounをもってすれば

How it works

「〜をもってすれば」 means "if one uses ~". Structure: Noun + をもってすれば. This is a JLPT N1 pattern — the examples below slot different everyday and workplace words into the same structure so you can see how it behaves. Learn the structure, then swap in your own words.

When to use it

Keep the condition and its result clear; the order matters more than a literal translation.

Tone: Neutral

A general pattern; let the sentence ending and situation set the politeness level.
