| Oct 2, 2020 at 10:58 | comment | added | user81561 | Please give an example of what you mean by "splitting the if part of a conditional sentence". To me, it means If she had been, I'd have heard her if she had called me, that close to me, which is obviously wrong. Or do you mean If she had been that close to me and if she had called me, I'd have heard her? | |
