Is something gramatically wrong with this sentence?
Siento como si no hubiera dormido por tres días, estoy muy cansado.
This sentence is grammatically correct.
Siento is in the wrong tense.
Hubiera dormido is in the wrong tense.
Estoy doesn't agree with the verb cansado.
Explanation
The sentence above is grammatically correct, and uses a properly constructed conditional perfect subjunctive clause to describe the feeling introduced by the verb, siento.
“Si yo tuviera mucho dinero, __________.”
yo compré una casa
yo compro una casa
yo habría comprado una casa
None of the above would be accurate
Explanation
The statement “If I had a lot of money” requires the use of the conditional mood to complete the sentence. The only option that uses the conditional is “habría comprado” (I would have bought).
