I'm first time here and therefore, I don't know whether this question is eligible on this site or not. Let's seeGiven the following sentences.
What, what is the difference between these twothe conditional clauses. in them?
- If you saw a lion in a thick forest, what would you do?
- If you were to see a lion in a thick forest, what would you do?
I'm asking this simple thing because it's confusing me, since there is no such thing in my native language (it's quite different thanfrom English).
If you saw a lion in a thick forest, what would you do?
and
If you were to see a lion in a thick forest, what would you do?
I can understand this one (Itit may be a different question).:
If you had seenhad seen a lion in a thick forest, what would havewould have you donedone?
but it's a bit confusing me. In my native language, it's always formulated as follows.:
If you would have seenwould have seen a lion in a thick forest, what would have you done?
Does this make any difference in English?
