REMEMBER
1. The conditional construction does not normally use will or would in if-clauses. EXCEPTION: If will or would express willingness, as in requests, they can be used in if-clauses.
2. For the second conditional, were replaces was:
3. After if, we can either use "some(-one, -where...)" or "any(-one, -where...).
4. Instead of if not, we can use unless.
5.There is a "mixed type" as well, for the present results of an unreal condition in the past:
e.g. If you will come this way, the manager will see you now.
I would be grateful if you would give me a little help.
(= ± please, come this way; please, give me...)
If I were a rich man...
If I have some spare time next weekend....or :
If I have any spare time...
e.g. I'll be back tomorrow unless there is a plane strike.
He'll accept the job unless the salary is too low.
If + Past Perfect - would + inf.
If you had warned me [then], I would not be in prison [now].
