•Never use 万一 for high-probability or positive events, and never confuse 假使 ("supposing that" — hypothetical condition) with 即使 ("even if" — concessive).
⚠️ Common Mistakes:
•Using 万一 for high-probability situations — illogical because 万一 means "one in ten thousand (unlikely hazard)".
•Using 倘若 or 设若 in casual everyday conversation — sounds overly bookish.
•Omitting correlative adverbs (就/便/则/将) or modal links in the main clause.
•Confusing 假使 ("supposing that") with 即使 ("even if").
