Dear teachers,
Please tell me if there is a difference between A1 and A2?
A1 Were it not for the mistake, he would have won more comfortably.
A2 Had it not been for the mistake, he would have won more comfortably.
If there is, then please explain why there is no difference between the following? What makes the exception, and which case is the exception, A or B?
B1 Without/ But for/ If not for him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
B2 If it were not for/ Were it not for him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
B3 If it hadn't been for/ Had it not been for him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Your anwsers would be very much appreciated.
