Need help with two sentences
Hi. Please help.
1. Is this a correct conditional sentence?
If there is more than one, he would go ahead and buy them.
Could we make typical conditional sentences with the word "there" in the if-clause?
(Something like below?)
Conditional I: If there is more than one, he will go ahead and buy them.
Conditional 2: If there were more than one, he would go ahead and buy them.
Conditional 3: If there had been more than one, he would have gone ahead and bought them.
2. Let us pretend that the below is some kind of comprehension question based on a story or narrative. Since the story or narrative contains four characters, one main character "Jane Doe" and three others, could we write sort of a question like below to ask after the reading? Please note the definite article before the word (number) "three."
Where did Jane Doe and the three others go after leaving the place they were in?
