If + ...
Hello,
I'm have a doubt with this sentence:
"...I would like to ask you, then, if you have any plan to update your laptop lines in the near future, thanks to which I will find the newest components even in the less expensive options here in Italy..."
The condition (if+), in the current form, is possible and in the present, so I went with the simple present, while the main proposition has the simple future. But, I don't think they have any plan to update their line, so, is it better like this:"if you had.. I would find..."?
Thank you for any useful information.
Cheers.

Hi The 'thanks to which' doesn't work there, I'm afraid. Apart from that, you are quite right about the tenses and the moods: You don't know if they have plans: - If you have any plans to update your lines, I will find the newest components. You know they don't have plans at the moment: - If you had any plans to update your lines, I would find the newest components.
