conditional 1 & 2
[12.12.2011 von Yvonne]
Hallo david,
der Gebrauch von SENT wäre hier conditional 2, der Gebrauch von SEND wäre conditional 1:
If you SENT it by airmail, it would arrive sooner. (conditional 2)
second conditional = if + simple past form, would + infinitive
If you SEND it by airmail, it WILL arrive sooner. (conditional 1)
first conditional = if + simple present form, will + infinitive

sent
If you sent it by airmail, it would arrive sooner. - Ihre Korrektur
sent ist aber die past-Form, es müsste heissen: send !
