Anne: What are you doing?
Nam: I'm doing my geography project. Look at this photo. It’s shocking that some people have so much and others have so little! The world would be much better if money didn't exist.
Anne: What do you mean? If money didn't exist, how would you buy things?
Nam: If you needed something, you would make it. If you couldn't make it, you would swap with somebody else.
Anne: So if I wanted a new mobile phone, how would I get it?
Nam: You don't need things like that! I'm talking about essentials: food, clothes, that kind of thing. At the moment, millions of people haven't even got those.
Anne: If money didn't exist, life wouldn't be better for poor people.
Nam: No? I think it would. If nobody had any money, everybody would be equal.

b. We can put the main clause first. In this case, we don't need the comma.
I'd buy you a present if I had enough money.
c. We use could to mean would + be able to. It is also the past simple of can.
