I would appreciate it if, If you could, I would like to think that
Structure:
Verb［ば］+ と + 思（おも）う
Maybe I learned the ~ば ending grammar incorrectly, but even looking back on that card いただく seems like it should be conjugated いただけば.
But on a review of this card, I’m told that’s wrong.
The review was:
後からゆっくり来ていただければと思います。(いただく)
And いただけばと思います wasn’t the correct answer. When I checked the answer, the いただく part was what was wrong.
Then, feeling like I was going crazy, I checked the ~ば card.
It says:
［く］Verb ￫ 歩く+ けば
I don’t know which to believe now.

This is the potential form of いただく (いただける → いただければ). The tense hints on some questions currently appear to be missing the ‘Potential’ hint.
I have just updated the relevant tense hints/sentences. Apologies for the inconvenience!
(I have also slightly updated the wording of the grammar point writeup itself to make it clearer that the potential form is normally used with いただく)

Aaah, okay.
I totally missed that it was potential form.
I figured I was wrong one way or another, but it turned out to be a third. lol
Thanks!!
