I have a disagreement with a colleague. Could someone please help us with omitting "if" in the second conditional? Is it possible, when the main verb is "have" to simply invert the subject and verb as in 3rd conditional?
Example: If I had a pen, I would write a letter.
Omitting If A: Were I to have a pen, I would write a letter.
Omitting If B: Had I a pen, I would write a letter.
Is B also correct?
