How to shorten If SVO+prep. A, then SVO+prep. B.?

Question

How to shorten the following sentence?

If the teacher brings a gift for Adam, then the teacher brings a gift for Barbara.

This sentence does not make much sense. My question is if there is a formula (like ·so does it·) to shorten "If SVO+prep. A, then SVO+prep. B."

Answer 1

I shorten this sentence this way:

If the teacher gives Adam a gift, then (he/she) does likewise for Barbara.

One replaces gift.

What I noticed in your sentence:

• The verb must be conjugated to the 3rd person singular in this context.
• Bring and give don't have necessarily the same meaning.
• In this context, we use the preposition to (ex: give it to me), but I use for in my sentence for another reason. Of course, we can say give me.
• We can replace information with other words like pronouns, nominal groups etc.
