What if she says "no"?
What if she says "no"?
I have learned that 'what if' is a short version of 'what will [happen] if' but in the example sentence, I feel like the meaning of 'what if' is close to 'what should I do if', so is it okay to understand 'what if' that way?
'What if' can have more meanings than 'what will [happen] if'
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
