…ば…はずだ

意味

Speculating about an event that one believes could have happened differently. In the final clause, one typically uses speculative or predictive expressions like (だろう/ はずだ/ かもしれない/ にちがいない/ と思う)... If the verb form of the sentence is in the past tense, it indicates that the truth in the past differs from the described event. However, if it's in the dictionary form (present tense), it expresses that the current situation would be different.
