position of an inverted conditional clause

Posted by Tanialoves · November 23, 2010 · 1 replies

When the word order is direct, the conditional clause can either proceed or follow the main clause.

- If I were younger, I would join the expedition.
- I would join the expedition if I were younger.

I wonder if the conditional clause can be used after the main clause when the word order is inverted. Is it correct to say

- Please contact me should you have any questions.

Thank you.

Yes, that's fine. The subordinate and main clauses can come in either order.
