Your laptop failed today and you cannot retrieve several important documents.

Complete the conditional shown above. Make the ending specific to this situation, rather than choosing a random grammatically possible clause.

3. Go further. Add one sentence explaining the situation or consequence.

Extra challenge: Change an important detail in the situation and produce a new conditional that fits.
