would + if?

Is it OK or not to say these (and if not why):

1. I would give it to you if you asked.
2. If you would ask I gave it to you.
3. I would give it to you if you would ask.

Which part of such sentences normally goes into "would" and which into "if"?

Thank you!

'Would' goes in the other clause, not in the 'if' clause.
