If - clause

Dear teachers,

Want do you think of these combinations of tenses, are they possible? If yes, why?

1) It IS possible to buy grape plants at this place IF you WANTED to start your own vineyard.

2) IF you ASKED an average native English speaker about the subjunctive, he WILL most likely GIVE you a blank stare.


Many thanks,
Hela
