how about this:
if i were a carpenter, would you marry me?
would you have married me when i was a carpenter?
see the difference?

(Nov 9 06, 05:56)it would be nice if both examples had an "if I", wouldn't it?
Would we be married today if I was a carpenter back then?
Am I right, or does this sentence call for a past/present perfect combination?
