Hi, please this is my own conditional construction and check for me if grammatical.

  • If we encountered
    any health problems we cosulted the doctor.
  • If we realised any deficulties we phoned the our master.
    -If we had any personal problems we told our mother.
  • If we saw him, with any thing suspicious we reported.

If we encountered any health problems, we consulted the doctor.
If we had any difficulties, we phoned our master. (You don’t need ‘realised’ here, as it’s a redundancy of sorts, however it is not completely incorrect).
If we had any personal problems, we told out mother(s).
If we saw him with anything suspicion, we reported him.

Note the punctuation and also that ‘anything’ is one word.

Beeesneees,

  1. If we encountered any health problems, we consulted the doctor.
    1a. If we encountered any health problems, we would consult the doctor.
    Mr. Ebenezer Adu wanted to make conditional sentences.
    So will not #1a be more conditional than #1?
    Please comment.

Hi Alifathima.

1.If we encountered any health problems, we consulted the doctor.(is a past real conditional.) What you used to do.

  1. If we encountered any health problems, we would consult the doctor.(is unreal conditional)

If we saw him with anything “suspicion”, we reported him.

Hi Bees,

Regarding the “suspicion” is it good or grammatical to use it or you had wanted to write “suspicious” but made a typing mistake? Because your use of “suspicion as a noun” seems to me somehow a mistake perhaps you might have done during typing process.

Please check how grammatical the following is:

  1. If I collected anything from anyone I gave it to my master.

Please confirm and help. Thanks.

It could be ‘any suspicion’ or ‘anything suspicious’.

Your sentence needs a comma after ‘from anyone’ and then it’s fine.
