the only problem with the sentence is the verb tense agreement... because "am" is present tense, and "will buy" is future tense. so if you changed it to "if i become rich, i will buy a lot of houses." or even "if i earn a lot of money/ if i come into a large amount of money, i will buy a lot of houses." hope this helped! :)

"Morphologically?" He could recommend the type that the verb takes. enable's look at an occasion sentence: have been I a duck, i could fly out right here rapid. have been right here may be the comparable as cutting-edge or previous demanding style. i will basically think of of "have been you a duck? " that is previous demanding. or possibly he's no longer speaking approximately this in any respect. or possibly he skill which you form all different tenses applying components of the present and previous tenses. So in actuality i could say that morphologically is the respond to your question. i've got self belief which you had to renowned a particular morphologically which contain the form of transformations. yet that's no longer what you asked in any respect. you basically choose the form of transformations. Or do you elect the names of all the tenses and examples of each -- somebody has given you that. i'm questioning there could others which you have no longer heard of yet. i will think of of pluperfect.

If I was rich, I would buy a lot of houses (informal, common in day to day language)
or If I were rich, I would buy a lot of houses (formal, more correct)

It's correct if you think you may be rich someday in the future.

It's not correct if you are talking about the present. If you want to express present time: If I were rich, I would buy a lot of houses.

It would be either:

If I was rich, I would buy a lot of houses (informal, common in day to day language)
or
If I were rich, I would buy a lot of houses (formal, more correct)

Grammatically correct. Stylistically horrible.
