#1 I'll wait for grammarians to come #2 If I were you, I will buy a car Firstly, this sentence makes no sense to me. Then again, you can't replace 'will' with 'can'. The best choice is: 'would'.

Hi guys,

1)We helped Christina finish her work. She appreciate that a lot.

First and most importantly, you can't say 'She appreciate'. If she appreciated it in the past, use past tense.- she appreciated. If you want to tell me she appreciates it now, use the correct form of the present tense - she ap

Sorry , there are many typing mistakes.

The second question is

If i were you, i would buy a car. << Can "could/ might" replace "would" regardless the meaning of the sentence.

Thank^^

Hi,

If i were you, i would buy a car. << Can "could/ might" replace "would" regardless the meaning of the sentence. Yes, these are all possible choices,but each of these words brings a different meaning.

Best wishes, Clive
