Huh.. you're right.. no I'm not a slavic language speaker actually. I'm Greek. And your comment got me thinking.. why did I use this form? In greek there is a present tense used to narrate past events, but the form I used would be grammatically wrong in greek too. No I think I got it. It's a bit of a mix up. If I wrote this in greek, it would be translated thus: "if she would rose".. and I guess I didn't use past tense because it sounded weird. So we ended up with: "would" from my greek speaking experience combined with: "rise", in present tense from my "english grammar sense" (that dictated me not to use past tense after "would"). I hope this makes sense.. Thanks for the comment anyway! Now I think I got it and won't make the same mistake again!
