Which sentence does sound natural?
1 If it rains tomorrow, we should cancel the plan now.
2 If it will rain tomorrow, we should cancel the plan now.
I know that we don’t normally use “will” or “would” in a conditional clause. But I kind of think sentence 2 is the right one because of the word “now” in the main clause. I can’t explain my thoughts well, though. Actually, which is correct, and why?
And I have another question.
3 If you help us, we will be able to win the game.
4 If you will help us, we will be able to win the game.
What is the difference between sentence 3 and sentence 4?
