Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / March 2007Which sentence is right?
Which sentence is right? If you don't do this, you can get an electric shock... or If you don't do this, you could get an electric shock... the second sentence sounds better to me, but i have lerned, if you take the simple present in the if clause, you must take the "will future" in the main sentence, or a "modales hilfsverb, like can or must. Hi, If you don't do this, you could get an electric shock.. This is the best of the two sentences. Sometimes conditional sentences are mixed, which means that the time in the "if" clause is not the same as the time in the main clause. Hope this helps If you have any more questions please come to www.askaboutenglish.com Matt |
