Here are the sentences;
" I COULD be happy if everything happened as I have planned."
" I CAN be happy if everything happens as I have planned. "
Which one of the above sentences, according to you, is more appropriate ? In what context / situation would you use one or the other ?
Thanks and glad to be among you people :-)
