Inversion, were to, but for: The Formal Register

What the unit teaches

Переводить первый, второй и третий тип в инверсию без if: Should you…, Were we to…, Had we…
Строить отрицание в инверсии полностью и после подлежащего: Had we not…
Использовать were to с if и без него для гипотезы, которую рассматривают, а не предлагают
Выражать «если бы не…» через if it weren't for / if it hadn't been for / but for с учётом времени
Выбирать регистр: инверсия в письме клиенту, договоре и ADR — да, в чате и пулл-реквесте — нет
Читать инвертированные условия в договорах как обычные if-предложения
