If I couldn't then I will...
I was asked to make a reservation for a hotel by my wife during lunch break.
I will try calling the hotel, but a room might not be available.
I want to tell her if a room is not available, I will call her so she can find other hotels that she wants to stay.
Can I say, "If I couldn't make a reservation, I will call you", or should I say "If I can't make a reservation, I will call you?"
