Hi.
I've found a sentence in Game of Thrones:
She was so angry that she might have told them who she really was, only Sandor Clegane grabbed her by the back of the collar and hoisted her onehanded off the deck.
Does this imply a condition?
She was so angry that she might have told them who she really was, if Sandor Clegane hadn't grabbed her by the back of the collar and hoisted her onehanded off the deck. And does "She was so angry that she could have told them who she really was, only Sandor Clegane grabbed her by the back of the collar and hoisted her onehanded off the deck." mean the same thing as the original version?Thank you all.
