But not only are the tenses and the constructions, which are to be used in any conditional sentence, regulated by the exigencies of the idea to be expressed, but the very forms of the conditional sentences themselves are subject to a like regulation. And if, after a speaker has—carelessly or otherwise started his sentence with a protasis or apodosis belonging to one form of conditional sentence, he recognises the fact that the exigency of his idea for the correction of an exaggeration, it may be, or for any other reason, and even at the cost of rendering his sentence elliptical-requires him to finish with an apodosis or protasis belonging to another form,135b there is no help for it, but so finish it he must.
