Hi,
I have just heard in the news the presenter ask this way:
What happens if they get involved ...?
The question is a structure consisting of a main clause and a conditional clause. As the rule for such constructions prescribes a future tense in the main clause, the above question baffled me. Am I being to strict with grammar? What are your sentiments on this?
