Seraphin  +  552268 Thu, 07 Aug 08 08:51 PM Are these two expressions interchangeable ? Or if in fact one is correct, the other incorrect. (a) I wonder if there is a possibility that I can borrow some money from you. (b) I wonder if it is a possibility that I can borrow some money from you.

I wonder if it would be possible to borrow some money from you. I wonder if it would be possible for me to borrow some money from you.
