If Conditional Sentence, Is this a correct sentence?
Hello,
"If you learn only 1,000 new words between now and this Christmas instead of 5,000 or even 10,000 new words, that is still 1,000 words you previously could not command in your daily communication."
From what I've read this sentence is not correct. I believe that the "that is still" part needs to be replaced with something like "you will still have learned". Am I on the right track?

The sentence is correct. Your version is also correct, but to repeat all that is tedious for the reader. English permits the sort of condensing you see here.
