Avec plaisir! Cela me fait aussi réfléchir davantage à ma propre langue maternelle.

Wendy, merci de prendre le temps de m'expliquer toutes ces nuances !

Hello Beatrice: 'If you could get me . . .' doesn't work as a stand-alone sentence in English, it needs a follow up - for example: if you could get me an autograph, I will give you a reward.
As this is a question, it needs to be: I was wondering if you could get me an autograph.
An example of a complete sentence starting with 'If' in English would be as follows: If only you could get me an autograph! (but that is not what is being expressed here. Here a question is being asked, so 'if' needs to be introduced.
