Thank you for your grammar guide, which is extremely useful.
I was a little confused by the conjugation for 会う in the examples below.
-------------------
Let's compare the difference in nuance.
（A） 友達に会えれば、買い物に行きます。- We will go shopping, if I can meet with my friend.
（B） 友達に会えたら、買い物に行きます。- If I can meet with my friend, we will go shopping.
-------------------
Given the way you explained how the verb forms should be derived, shouldn't the 会うverb be:
In (A) - 会えば (change the last / u / vowel sound to an / e / vowel sound but instead of attaching 「る」, you attach 「ば」) instead of 会えれば.
In (B) - 会ったら (take the past tense and just adding 「ら」) instead of 会えたら.

I wasn't too sure of the conjugations so I verified using http://wapedia.mobi/enwiktionary/%E4%BC%9A%E3%81%86
Thank you in advance for clarifying.
