First of all, pay attention to the following two clauses. They have been taken from a conditional sentence of type 1, so one of them is the "if-clause" and the other the "then-clause". With this in mind, think of the most probable arrangement of these two clauses and say if the statement below is true or false:
Clause 1: you / want a doctor
Clause 2: I / examine every inch of you
Clause 1 expresses the possible situation ("if-clause"), and clause 2 expresses the possible result ("then-clause")
True.
False.
Hint
Try to mentally create the conditional sentence by using Clauses 1 and 2 to see if the result makes sense.
Correct.
The statement is true because the resulting sentence would be "IF you want a doctor, I'll examine every inch of you". If you had the clauses the other way round, the conditional would read "If I examine every inch of you, you will want a doctor", which is a less likely meaning.
