(bought it) c) If + present simple, suj + will (0, 1st) real situation If you go, I’ll go too. d) If + past perfect, suj +would+ inf (3rd + 2nd) irreal If I had know the results, I’d have a better job. e) If + will/would+ inf, suj + will + inf ( no conditional, very polite way) if you’ll follow me please, I’ll show you to yours class. f)
