Interesting, because you're living in those places.  I only use "stay"
when I'm talking about some place where I don't bring all my stuff,
like, if I'm staying at a friend's house for a few days, or I'm staying
at a hotel room.  "Stay" implies *very* temporary, and as a guest, too.

But, your "conditional" only occurs with an "if" clause, and your
promisary only occurs without an "if" clause.  They sound the same to
me!

True.  :-)  Of course, that one is irregular in its negative, all the
others simply place "not" or "n't" after the first auxiliary, whereas
that places "didn't" in front of the auxiliary.
