- In my experiments, the liquid is cooled to 32 degrees. It always freezes.
- If you cool the liquid to 32 degrees, it will freeze.
- If you cooled the liquid to 32 degrees, it would freeze.
- If you had cooled the liquid to 32 degrees, it would have frozen.
- If you cool the liquid to 32 degrees, it freezes.
