Is this correct? ...if I didn't...
I don't want to offend John if I didn't respond to his request.
1. Is the sentence above correct?
2. I was also wondering if I can use "if I don't respond" or "if I haven't responded" for the sentence above. Are they also possible?
3. If so, how are they different in meaning?
Please advise. Thank you.
