 A polite request

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.

You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.

However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite.

During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a No Parking area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. this note is only a reminder.' 

If you receive a request like this, you can not fail to obey it.

 

 

 If he is out, I will call him tomorrow.

If he is working, I won't disturb him.

 

If tall chimneys were built above sea level, the tunnel would be will-ventilated. [假设过去]

If he is out, I will call him tomorrow. [假设现在]

If it rains tomorrow, we will stay at home. [假设将来]
