Learn English – Is this correct: “Should you have something that I can do, please feel free to assign me task.”

email

I want to send an Email to my professor, and say "Should you have something that I can do, please feel free to assign me task."

I assume that "Should you" = "If you", is that correct?

Best Answer

Should you does serve the same purpose as if you, but the use of should as a conditional clause is unnecessarily formal in most cases. It's technically correct, but a seasoned English speaker would overwhelmingly favor if in this situation.

Also, "assign me task" is entirely awkward and incorrect. You can either rework it to say assign the task to me or use a more casual let me know.
