At nineteen if I had...
Are these sentences correct:
1) He looks like me at nineteen if I had a beard.
2) He would look like me at nineteen if I had a beard.
(He has a beard and if at nineteen I had a beard then me at nineteen and he as he is now would look alike)
3) That tennis-player looks like me at nineteen if I ever held a tennis racquet in my hand.
4) That tennis-player would like me at nineteen if I ever held a tennis racquet in my hand.
(That tennis-player looks like me when I was nineteen, but the resemblance would be complete if I held a tennis racquet in my hand back then, which I never did.)
Maybe one should take the 'ever' out of '3' and '4'?
Gratefully,
