I feel that I have a good grasp of the majority of the
grammar, but my vocabulary is only expanding slowly.
As a result, I can't find a way of saying:

If I had a million pounds/dollars/kroner
then I'd be rich.

I guess what I want to say is:

Regardless of the truth value of A,
(A => B) is a valid assertion.

Where: A = ( I have a million million pounds )
and : B = ( mi ricfu )


Yes?
