Default Re: unreal conditionals of past - tense problem -

Hi cclaff & acorn,

Thank you for your reply. According to your answer, "would" seems to be used for the present (and maybe future, too) result which is caused by the unreal conditional no matter if the unreal conditional is past or present.

If I understand wrong, please tell me.
