pleasehelp  +  955458 Wed, 28 Oct 09 04:38 PM It's Mexico, you're lucky if you made 20k a year.  Could this be seen as a conditional sentence by putting made in the past tense?  Since we're conversing in the present but I'm implying that he'd be lucky if he hypothetically made 20k a year... Or should it be lucky if you make 20k a year..since it's in present time. Input'd be nice. pleasehelp Joined on Sun, Sep 20 2009 Regular Member 616 Tenses, Past Tenses, Conditionals, Sentences

	CalifJim  +  955528 Wed, 28 Oct 09 06:25 PM pleasehelp “It's Mexico, you're lucky if you made 20k a year. ” You have a comma splice problem here -- two sentences joined by a comma. In Mexico you're lucky if you make 20K a year. The hypothetical form has would: In Mexico you would be lucky if you made 20K a year.
