Claiming Coins after Hard Fork

Hi all,

sorry if this question is obvious, but I am still kind of new to the whole crypto scene. I got a bit confused with hard forks (HF), especially with respect to the upcoming Berlin HF and later London HFs.

In the past, whenever a HF occured and a network branched into two, there were also two coins associated. The main branch and coin continues to work without any interaction by the user. however, if an address contained coins at the time of the fork, the holder can claim the equivalent amount of coins on the second branch, like for ETC or BCH.

Will this also be the case for the upcoming ETH forks? Or am I missing something?
