✔ 最佳答案

Have you ever heard of conditional sentences?!
if not, thats why you dont dont why the captioned sentence used I KNEW

this sentence was using conditional sentence type 2!
2nd conditional is usually used in such cases
- Stating preferences
- Supposing
- Unusual circumstances

(in simple, 一d冇可能發生,馬後炮既時候用)
example: 如果我10年前用功讀書, 我而家已經係一個工程師
(If I STUDIED hard ten years ago , I'd be an engineer now. )

GOT IT?

句中應該係講緊佢唔識游水...所以另一個人suggest佢去報course :)
hope can help ya
