I’m a bit confused with としたら.
For example, what’s the difference between
忘れたら and 忘れたとしたら?

I still don’t get it…

Here you can learn useful things like: ~以上たってから気がついた場合 if realising the stuff was lost more than ~ ago
and the like. Don’t forget to use Rikaichan….Look for patterns.

Another tip to find relevant pages on the topic is to copy a word from a page (e.g. 忘れ物 in this case) in kanji e use it to search. You are guaranteed to find only pages in Japanese!

Have fun!

japanesepod101が大好きですよ。However, now that I’m officially paid, up, I’ve been dying to make a comment about your English. So often, you say that something is inferred, when you mean that it is implied. As a school teacher, this drives me sideways, as you are also a teacher setting an example. Remember the listener infers, but the speaker implies. Or if you like, Sherlock Holmes infers, but Mark Twain implies.
