Hi everyone! ![]()
Could someone please explain to me if sometimes "If I didn't do" means "If I hadn't done"?
I found it in a video in which the speaker (an indigenous person but with good English, I would say) does everything to help other people as a job. But she had deep emotional wounds before that. And she needed to heal those wounds before starting to help others. At least that's how I understand it because she says about deciding to help others: "I wouldn't have done this if I didn't do my own healing."
Could it be that sometimes people accidentally use wrong grammar when they mean to say "If I had not"?
Thank you for any replies in advance! ![]()
