If + should
a. If you should manage to graduate, I would buy you a new car.
b. If you should manage to graduate, I will buy you a new car.
Are both of them acceptable?
--------------
User Piscean says, 'Constructions with if + should are unusual in that they can be used in both predictive and hypothetical conditional sentences.'
User GoesStation says, 'Only will works for me after if you should manage to.'
What do you think?
I think a. is a hypothetical conditional sentence, and b. is a predictive conditional sentence. Am I right?
