In that context, then, yes. However, the original was a contraction, and I'm not sure the contracted from works. The full form in bold does.

Yes, I got that feeling also, but what makes it so? it is difficult to show stress in a contrsted sentence. i think the stress would fall elsewhere in the contracted example.

If he’s going to come, I’d ask him.

To me, the grammar of the original is correct. I think it is our habit of focusing on a limited number of, even though most common, conditional structures that makes us deny the more "unusual" ones.

I think the uncontacted form works best, but there has to be an indication of stress for the sentence to work- without that, then it doesn't do it for me.

So the grammar is intact?
