Is it the case that you have lost all your money? 妳的錢全都損失了, 是真的嗎?
The police have a clear case against the prisoner. 警察有充足的事實對付那個囚犯。
case作此義時,常用於以下壹些固定短語:
① in that / this case 如果那樣/這樣(的話);在那種/這種情況下
In that case, we'd better hold a discussion about the problem. 那樣的話,我們最好對這壹問題展開討論。
He may not be back at six. In this case we won't wait for him. 他可能六點鐘回不來。要是這樣,我們就不等他了。
② in case of 如果, 萬壹,後接名詞、代詞或動名詞。如:
Take a spare tyre along in case of need. 帶只備用輪胎去,以備不時之需。
Turn off the TV set in case of thunderstorm. 在雷雨時,關上電視機。
In case of fire, dial 119 at once. 如果發生火災,立即撥打119。
而in the case of則是"就……來說"。如:

註意: in case引出的條件從句所表示的意義是"預防某種情況的出現";如果從句說的是壹般的假設或條件,則要用if 。請比較:
I'll tell him about the matter if I meet him. (不用in case)
Take an umbrella in case it rains. (不用if )

I don't think it will rain, but I'll take an umbrella in case (it rains).
