What is the correct use of "depending" in this sentence?
Please note you are allotted one ½ hour of commuting time either to or from a meeting location depending if your meeting is in the morning or afternoon.
Is the meaning:
- "depending upon"?
- "which depends on"?
Also, I don't think the sentence is correct. Should it read like one of these?
…depending upon if your meeting is in the morning or afternoon
…depending on if your meeting is in the morning or afternoon
