OK, a sentence from a third year student's university final:
"If I had money, you should have it."
Grammatically it's fine, but only if you use your imagination and apply a lot of context. There is no context in the assignment because it's presented as an example sentence demonstrating a specific structure, that it does adhere to. Technically I can't mark it wrong unless I know the student's intention, and I can't speak to him/her. Do I label it awkward and dock a point? |

Full credit, but tell him it's awkward and its meaning is unclear. |
