What conditional is this sentence?

If it happen, we are prepared for it.

If it happens, we are prepared for it.

a would have been used in old english for the subjunctive.

b is how we would now say it

What conditional are these?





Thanks

B is Conditional one. I don't think you mean 'Old English' for A, which would be something like 'gif hit geleamp', but I suspect that in the time you speak of, the subjunctive, much more in evidence then, would require a different classification system.

If b is conditional 1, how come it doesn't use 'will'?

Oh yes-- then I guess this is CJ's Conditional Zero. You'll have to ask him.
