I learned in a grammar book that conditionals are not affected by tense, but the following is confusing. Is it conditional1(factual conditional) to mean something that could possibly occur in the past or conditional2(counter-factual conditional) to mean something that can not possbily occur. Or does it depend?
-g.w
[FONT=굴]Mel- I thought if I opened myself up to him, that if I took a risk and told him my secret, [/FONT][FONT=굴]it would show him how much I believed in him.[/FONT]
[FONT=굴]Another example would be like this.[/FONT]
[FONT=굴]He says "I would go if I were not ill"[/FONT]
[FONT=굴]=> He said that he would go if he were not ill.[/FONT]
