The acid-catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes occurs via a mechanism analog

Question

The acid-catalyzed addition of alcohols to alkenes occurs via a mechanism analogous to acid-catalyzed alkene hydration. The reaction occurs in 3 steps:
1) Addition of H+ to the alkene, together with any possible carbocation rearrangements;
2) Addition of the alcohol to the carbocation;
3) Deprotonation to yield the product ether.

Draw the product of step 1 when 3-methyl-1-butene reacts with methanol in the present of H2SO4 catalyst.
Use the charge tools to adjust charges on the atoms.
Do not explicitly draw hydrogens.

Explanation / Answer

if h2SO4 is catalyst reaction will not take place ..........
