Hi!

I am wondering if there's any difference when using conditionals for the "impossible".

Example: If I was still in Tokyo, I would go to this concert.

Because I am NOT in Tokyo anymore, I can't go. I am wondering if some specific form has to be used for this kind of expression.

This: 「未だ東京に居たら、このコンサートに行きます。」 feels a bit wrong as it sounds like it's possible that I'll go...

Thanks!
Phil
