“___したら” means “When ___ or If ____” and which has been used as the meaning of “to introduce a clause in which you mention something which happens at some point during an activity, event, or situation.”. The basic way to use it is “私わたしは/が___したら___だ。(When/If I ___, ___.)”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは/が買かい物ものに行いったら、卵たまごを買かう。(When/If I go shopping, I’ll get some eggs.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “___したら” is used as the PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE TENSE. When using it as the PAST and PRESENT TENSE, “___したら” is often used in daily conversations than “___した時とき“, so “___したら” sounds natural. And when you use it as the meaning of “FUTURE TENSE”, a Japanese meaning would be “(もし)___したら”, so you would also use “___したら” as THE FUTURE TENSE. Everybody could use “___したら” in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal such as “買かい物ものに行いったら、卵たまごを買かうよ。(When/If I go shopping, I’ll get some eggs.)” as casual and “買かい物ものに行いったら、卵たまごを買かいます。(When/If I go shopping, I’ll get some eggs.)” as formal and which is also used as polite. Lastly, “___する時とき” and “___したら” are mostly interchangeable such as “暇ひまな時とき___(When I’m free)” and “暇ひまだったら(When/If I’m free)” And “起おきた時とき(When I got up___)” and “起おきたら(When I got up___)”, however, when describing the “Time”, they are not interchangeable such as “駅えきに着ついたら、何時なんじだった？” and “１２歳じゅうにさいたら、メルボルンに住すんでたよ。” which sound weird.
