A student asked me about the conditional sentence that appears in the Raymond Murphy book, Essential Grammar in Use, I was unable to give an answer so I've come to ask here.....
In until 100, the sentence "If I had the money, he would buy a fast car" is used as an example of a type II conditional sentence. Under the sentence Murphy tells us "Usually had is past, but in this sentence had is not past."
My student asked, "What tense is had then?"
Thank you.
