Hello teachers
Hello teachers,
How are you today? I would like to ask you when do we use 'were to' in conditional clauses and can we use it in general instead of 'if' even when the conditional form is likely. Can you give me example. Can I say: Regarding the Bourgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline, potential benefits could increase if Bulgarian tankers were to transport the oil. (Having in mind that it can happen likely in general?)
And one more thing: Ukraine or the Ukraine?
Best regards: Eli

You may say: Potential benefits could increase if Bulgarian tankers (were to transport)/ (transported) the oil; in the United States, most people now refer to Ukraine, without the article.
