Other structures
 As long as, providing (or provided that) and on condition: these
expressions mean only if and can be used with the same verb forms as
conditional sentences:
In Spain you can drive a car as long as you are 18
 Inversion of subject and verb: this structure is very common in formal
English in conditional sentences with should and the past perfect. When
inversion is used, we omit if:
Had I known about the transport strike, I would have taken my car.
Should you meet Sheila, tell her the meeting has been postponed.
