Is that grammatically correct?
I had to turn it from : "If you found the missing money, what would you do?" using a word "were" so I thought it would be "What would you do if somebody's money had gone missing".
Thanks

Hello Isaac, welcome to EL&U. The sentence you have given is grammatical but it suffers from two problems: firstly it means something different from the original and secondly it doesn't include the word "were" which you say you were asked to include. I suspect the person who set you the exercise was looking for "What would you do were you to find the missing money?"
