Default Re: correct a sentence

Dear teachers,

Would you please tell me if the following sentences are correct?

1) a) Since I live (or Since I am ?) in NY I have been used to noise and pollution.

b) I have long been used to living alone.



2)a) When will you tell me about what I will / would have to do?


b) I wonder when he will finish school.


c) As long as you let me know when you WILL ARRIVE, I will come and meet you at the station. (wrong ?)



3) a) She is having a baby. (immediate future)
b) She is going to have a baby. (less immediate ?)



4) If I am as clever as you think, I should have been rich by now. (correct ?)

Would you have other examples of a mixed conditional type 1 + type 3 ?



5) a) If my father were not paying / didn’t pay my fees, I wouldn’t be studying here.

b) If my father had not paid my fees, I wouldn’t be studying here.


Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Hela
