 Hi,

Is this conditional? I am roubled by the existence of the modal 'should' in the if-clause.

If I should get three thousand dollars, I would/should/will get a chance to buy a nice used car.

The sentence is conditional.  should is optional.  The second clause should have will, not would or should.
