2. The clauses can be used in either order. No comma is necessarry when the if clause comes second. E.g. If I had special powers, I wouldn’t use them to be famous. I wouldn’t use them to be famous if I had special powers. If I were very famous, I might appear in television. I might appear in television if I were vere famous.

3. We can use various modals in the main clause. The most common is would , or its contraction ‘d. We can also use: Would = ‘d Could (ability) Might (possibility) E.g. If I found $750,000, I might go to the police . (possibility) If I found $750,000, I could buy a new house. (ability)

What would you do…? If you found a wallet in the street. If you saw a person copy in an exam. If you fail the English course. If you were the Mexican’s President. If you fell in love on your best friend’s boyfriend/girlfriend.
