ともだちに来ます。

[NicolaasRoets]

今日は

私のともだちに来ます、だけどピザとわるいたべものをかいます。

My friend is coming, therefor i will buy pizza and unhealthy food.

Is this sentence correct?
Also how will i say:

If my friend is coming then i will buy pizza and bad food.

My understanding of けど/だけど is that it primarily means "however." So you sentence is more like "My friend is coming, however I will buy pizza and unhealthy food."

What you probably want is だから or それで, which work like "therefor."

If... if, if, if. There are a lot of ways to say "if" in Japanese, each with their own peculiarities. I think here もし... たら is the best form, which is like saying "If... Then."

もし私のともだちが来たらピザとわるいたべものをかいます

Basically, with a verb, you conjugate it into the plain past and slap a ら on the end.

Note that I also changed に to が, as I believe that your sentence was actually saying "I will come at my friend."

Thank you for helping NicolaasRoets san,

NicolaasRoets san,
As jim.schuler san said ‘therefore’ does not fit here.
It should be ‘however.’
How about the sentence, '私のともだちに来ますが、ピザとわるいたべものをかいます'？
