2.
I want to know the language that my adopted sister would have spoken had she grown up in her birth country.

Could anyone use the *reverse time order* sentence structure in another sentence?

Thanks

Amy: I'm OK, but I have carpal tunnel syndrome.

Richard:
That sounds bad. Is it serious ?

Found the problem and corrected it?

Thanks

I would like to know what the weather would have been like if I had taken the vacation.

THANKS
