Would, could and might are often interchangeable, but with some difference in meaning. would → intention; plan

could → ability; possibility

might → probability

2) In written English or informal

situation, we usually use were in If-clauses in place of was. However, in everyday conversation, was is often used. We can also put should, were and had at the beginning of an unreal conditional sentence. In this case, if

is not needed any more.

E.g. 1) If you should make a mistake, you should not be embarrassed. →Should you make a mistake, you should not be embarrassed. 2) If you had told me earlier, I would not have had the problem that day. →

3) If you were to take the train, you would be there earlier tomorrow. →
