If ever you go to Japan, make sure to try some sushi.

[Jessica725]

1. If ever you go to Japan, make sure to try some sushi.

2. If you ever buy a house, I would advise you to get a reliable agent.

3. If I had ever a chance to stay in Manchester, I would have made time to visit you.

Would you guys please advise me if all these sentences above are correct?

The first two are OK. Note my change to the third.

Some of our female members are not too happy about being addressed as 'guys'.

1. I could try sushi without going to Japan. (I prefer food that does not want to kill me.)
2. I think you should get a real estate agent before you buy the house.

It is my pleasure to have your reply.
I think I should have made it clear for you to understand my sentences . For the first one, what I meant is that I would recommend "you" to try some local food such as sushi,sashimi etc. because their taste should be original and local. As for the second one, could you please tell me the difference between mine and yours?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

"If you ever go to Japan, make sure to try some sushi" makes perfect sense. I simply replied with humorous intent. (I am deadly serious about not wanting sushi.)

"If you ever buy a house, I would advise you to get a reliable agent" puts things backwards. You should find a real estate agent, and then the agent will help you find and purchase a house.

(I had to look at the OP again.)

If you ever go to Japan, make sure to try some sushi.

Shouldn't "to" be replaced by "you"?

Shouldn't "to" be replaced by "you"?

It could be, but "make sure + to infinitive" is also grammatical.

Sushi is yummy,isn't it?
I wonder if the "if ever" has the same meaning in the following examples.
1. If ever you move house, I would advise you to get a good removal company.

2. If you ever go to Edibburgh,make sure to visit the Art Gallery.
I would be glad to hear from you .

@Jessica725 They are not called "removal companies". Also, " move house" is nit an English phrase. Perhaps: "The next time you move, be sure to hire a good moving company. "

The second sentence is just right.

I quoted "the removal company" from English Grammar Today " by Cambridge University Press
I feel confused about this…

 

[Rover_KE]

I’d say either ‘… make sure you try …’ or ‘… be sure to try …’

Removal company and move house are OK in BrE.

 

[Jessica725]

I found from the Cambridge dict.
removal van
noun [ C ]
UK

UK

/rɪˈmuː.vəl ˌvæn/ US

/rɪˈmuː.vəl ˌvæn/

(US moving van)

a vehicle used to transport furniture and other possessions when people move to a new home So it is ok to say removal company in BrE?
