In Conditionals^x, Difference between^x

There is always more trouble with the verb to be in conditional structures, in my opinion, so yes, it is very wrong.CJ

It's a run-on sentence. It should be two sentences or two independent clauses separated by a semi-colon. Come when you like; I can see you any time.With the imperative (Come when you like) I would use only the present can.I would not mix the tentativeness of could with the openness of any...
