AnonymousWheat grows very fast. Once you ~~crop~~ harvest it, ~~it's ready in 3 minutes.~~ it grows back in three minutes.

I think this is what you mean.
__________

I don't have any idea what you mean by the other sentences, especially the last one with all the 3's.

I mean 'once you plant wheat, it grows back quickly.' Do you 'plant' wheat?

I'm making food for my animals. I'm waiting for the food to get ready so I could give it to them. Is 'get ready' correct?

Keep in mind it is a game. When cooking let's say chicken. Once it is ready, you have 3 chickens to give to your animals.
I make the food in batches of 3.
I make the food 3 at a time.
I make the food 3 by 3.

Can you mix 'when' and 'once' like I have done?
When cooking chicken. Once it is ready, you have 3 chickens to give to your animals

Thank you in advance

Yes. Once you plant wheat, it grows quickly. It's not growing back.

AnonymousI'm making food for my animals.

You can't make food. If you're cooking, you combine foods together to make a dish. But we don't say, I made the milk, I made the flour, or I made the lettuce.

AnonymousKeep in mind it is a game.

But is it so unrealistic a game that you cook food for the animals? I've never heard of making a dish of pork and beans to give to cows, for example.

AnonymousI make the food in batches of 3.I make the food 3 at a time.I make the food 3 by 3.

Only the first of these makes sense.

AnonymousWhen cooking chicken. Once it is ready, you have 3 chickens to give to your animals

The first three words form a subordinate clause, not a complete sentence. There is no point in using 'when' and 'once' together in this way, though there may be other contexts in which such a combination is possible.

If you are a baker, do you make bread?
A person doesn't make food for their dog?

What if I use a comma?
When cooking chicken, once it is ready, you have 3.....

Would you be so kind as to answer a question about clauses?

A condition sentence has 2 clauses, and if clause and a would clause.

Which is the the if clause in the following?

Especially if he was going do something that dangerous, I would be tempted to tell his parents if I was him.

Which is the condition sentence?

Especially if he was going do something that dangerous, I would be tempted to tell his parents.

or

I would be tempted to tell his parents if I was him.

Thank you for your help

AnonymousIf you are a baker, do you make bread?

Yes, because you are processing other foodstuffs into a final product.

AnonymousA person doesn't make food for their dog?

No. I've never heard of "making food for a dog". Here we just put dog food in the dog's dish. The dog food may come from a can or a bag. I suppose you could say that they make dog food at the factory, though.

AnonymousWhat if I use a comma?When cooking chicken, once it is ready, you have 3.....

It's not terrible, but there are better ways of saying it. For example, you can write "Once the chicken is ready, you have ...". Obviously, in the context you're operating in, you're cooking chicken if you say "Once the chicken is ready". There is no logic in saying "Once the chicken is ready" if you're cooking beef, for example.

AnonymousEspecially if he was going to do something that dangerous, I would be tempted to tell his parents if I was him.

The logic of this statement is rather twisted, especially if the highlighted pronouns are coreferential. Splitting a compound condition into two if-clauses, one at each end of the sentence, is very difficult for most readers to follow.

In fact, one of those conditions is really unnecessary. The whole statement amounts to the following.

If I were going to do something that dangerous, I would be tempted to tell my parents.

There are 3 people involved though.
Especially if Max was going to do something dangerous, I would be tempted to tell his parent If I was Robert [and I knew about it]

If there wasn't a third party, I would say it the way you've written it.

Which would be the conditional sentence?

[Especially] if Max was going do something that dangerous, I would be tempted to tell his parents.

or

I would be tempted to tell his parents if I was Robert.

The whole thing is a conditional sentence. It's just that you have two if-clauses whose conditions must be fulfilled before the consequent clause takes effect. It's the same as if you had connected the conditions in the if-clauses with "and".

If Max was going to do something that dangerous and I was Robert, I would be tempted to tell Max's parents.

hi, Is this a conditional sentence? Is it correct grammar?

I wouldn't run when the road is [was] wet [if I was you].

Please can I have your opinion?

'If I was you' is considered substandard by most grammarians, though it occurs often enough in casual conversation.

I wouldn't run when the road is wet if I were you.
