Is the conditionnel also replaced with imparfait at times?

Hello! In some Romance languages, in stating counterfactual situations, sometimes speakers use the imperfective past form in the apodosis (the part stating the possible consequence) instead of the conditional. Does this also happen in French? In what situation? How is this seen? To be clear here is an example.

Si j'avais d'argent, je l'achetais maintenant (instead of acheterais).

Was there ever a point in Philippine Chinese school history where Hokkien was the sole Chinese language that was taught (alongside the official languages then) and the medium of instruction?

Hello! Pretty much the title but how did it go? What was the Hokkien and language curriculum like? Was it all Chinese schools that did that? How was the shift from Hokkien to Mandarin?
