Could in the if clause
Hi.
Is it OK to use modal verbs in the if clause of a conditional sentence? If so, what type of conditional should we call it?
Take a look:
In the letter of reference, I would appreciate it if you could include information related to my trustworthiness, my enthusiasm and my cross-cultural awareness while in teacher training college.
How does the meaning change if we say: if you included ?
