Yes shrug off is the right option. I have missed "s" too in another option. Quote:
It is perfectly idiomatic. It adds emphasis. In American English, “have got” is an intensive form of “have”. For example, if you say, “I’ve got a really big TV,” you are placing more emphasis on your possession of the TV than if you say, “you have a really big TV.” If you say you haven’t got any money, you’re stressing the fact that you’re broke. Note that you can use “has got” or “have got” only in the present tense. In American speech, “the form without ‘got’ is used more than in the UK”, so in other words, Americans tend to say, “have” and the British tend to say, “have got.” For example, according to The New Fowler's Modern English Usage, in Britain, you’re more likely to hear the question “Have you got this book in stock?” whereas in America, “Do you have this book in stock?” would be more common. “Have got” also has another meaning: to indicate necessity or obligation. Saying, “have got” is a little stronger than saying, “must”. So if I’m running late, I might tell my friend, “I have got to go now,” with the emphasis on the word “got.” And my friend might tell me, “You have got to stop being late so often.” Quote:

Conditional Sentence Type 1 It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled. Conditional Sentence Type 2 It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled. Conditional Sentence Type 3 It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.

Like: He said, "If my children were older, I would emigrate." He wished if his children had been older, he would have emigrated. He wished to emigrate, if his children were older. I have come to know now that Conditional sentences type 2 and 3 remain unchanged. But, He wished to emigrate, if his children were older. Is it wrong? |

If the reporting speech is in the past tense, the following changes will take place in Type I/ first conditional / the will condition. 1. the present indefinite tense of “if” clause changes into the past indefinite tense. 2. the “will” of the result clause changes into “would” 3. “that” comes between the two speeches. 4. “if” of the conditional sentence remains in it own place. Note: the following changes will take place in type II / second conditional / the would condition. 1. the past indefinite tense of “if” clause can remain unchanged and it can also be changed into the past perfect tense. 2. “would + IV” of the “result clause” can remain unchanged and it can also be changed into “would have + IIIV” 3. “that” comes between the two speeches. 4. “if” of the conditional sentence remains in its own place. Note: (i) no change will take place in the “if clause” and “result clause” of type III / third conditional / would have condition. (ii) “tenses” , “here and now words” , “pronouns” and other changes will take place according to the previous rules.
