If you missed the train, you won't/ / wouldn't arrive in time for the conference.
Can either verb be used? Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
Wouldn't is the only correct choice.
@tanguatlay,
Agree with Contrex, if using
won't you need to change
missed.
If you miss the train, you won't arrive in time for the conference.
@contrex,

With a stretch of the imagination, we can imagine when she missed the train she took a bus; but by chance being seated near a fella familiar with scheduling....
@dalehileman,
Contrex never said that. Misquoting people is really snide, and don't try to blame it on your advancing years because it's deliberate.

Never said what Izzy
I was merely providing an instance where "missed" might be okay with "won't," no intention to misquote Izzy
@izzythepush,
Sorry Izzy I was still editing. 'Cuz it's rare to get a response so quick. Yes I should first take it offline
