اگر بیایی میرویم
Open Future Conditions
اگر بیایی (possible condition) + با هم میرویم (result).
How It Works
A possible future event. اگر باران ببارد، در خانه میمانیم leaves the rain open and states what we will do in that case. ببارد is the third-singular subjunctive; میمانیم names our result.
A fact being checked. اگر وقت داری، همین حالا کمک کن asks the listener to act if they currently have time. داری suits the factual possession being tested; the presence of اگر does not force a subjunctive into every clause.
Read the result independently. A result can be a promise, question, request or statement: اگر رسیدی، به من زنگ بزن uses a past-shaped رسیدی for reaching the point before the requested call. Chronology and intended meaning matter more than an English tense template.
Clause order. Either the condition or the result may come first. با هم میرویم اگر وقت داشته باشی still makes our going depend on your having time. Keep the actors and the condition’s scope clear.

- اگر بیایی، با هم میرویم.
If you come, we will go together.
- اگر باران ببارد، در خانه میمانیم.
If it rains, we will stay at home.
- اگر وقت داری، همین حالا کمک کن.
If you have time, help right now.
The condition checks a present fact.

When you get there, call me.
Literally an if condition; reaching comes before the requested call.
