I know the four types of conditionals. In the if clause, I know that “if” could be replaced by “when” and “should”. On the other hand, I do not know if this would be possible with the main clause. Can we replace the word “would” with other words, like “should or “could”?
Answer
It is possible. Here are a few examples:
- If someone calls, you should tell them I'm out.
- If you told me what you need, I could possibly help you.
Please note that "would", "should" and "could" bear different meanings. They are not interchangeable.
