Hi,
1. You can activate your membership if you came back anytime before the suspension end date. If you were still away, please make sure the extension of suspension is made 5 business days before August 10th, 2010s.
2. You can activate your membership if you come back anytime before the suspension end date. If you are still away, please make sure the extension of suspension is made 5 business days before August 10th, 2010s.
What's the difference between these two conditional sentences? Wouldn't the first be somewhat redundant since they practically mean the same thing?
