a comma “,” as a link between the clause and the main clause, but if the clause is
given after the main clause, you can omit the comma.

2) Note 2: In this type of sentence, you must remember that “was” will never be
used, and consequently you can only use “were”.

3) Note 3: In this type of sentence, you should also remember that “should” will
never be used and instead you need to use “would”.
