      Alexander Koryagin:              AK>> Do you think it would be more logical if we use them       AK>> vice versa? ;=)              AK> Hey, Ardith! ;-) After "if" I used a simple future time       AK> -- why not? I don't want to use the subjunctive mood in       AK> both clauses.              Start with the standard simple classification of       conditionals into three categories:               I. He will find me if he knows how.        II. He would find me if he knew how.        III. He would have found me if he had known how.              Then learn the various "mixed" forms. You can't mix them in       whatsoever way it likes you, but must follow the logic of       the tenses. I highly recommend Baskerville and Sewell's       short and clear explanation:               http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14006/14006-h/14006-h.htm#Page_139              ---        * Origin: *** nntp://fidonews.mine.nu *** Finland *** (2:221/6.0)    |
