But neither one requires an if-clause, and both can have an if-clause, so your question is wrong. I think you're actually asking about the different function of the would-clause between those two sentences. Like, maybe you think the first one is a real question while the second is rhetorical, or something, but it's not about if-clauses. | |

It doesn’t imply “if James had not killed them.” It literal means no one else would have done that. No hypothetical condition is omitted. | |
| Dec 10, 2022 at 8:32 | comment | added | gotube♦ | I don't see any difference. You could say, "Who else would have if she hadn't bought it?" just like the first sentence. Why do you think they're different? | |
