Many wonder what is the most correct way to write: if I were or if I would be ? The answer is simple: it depends on what you want to express with that sentence. The if is a conjunction that introduces a hypothetical sentence. We may or may not know the answer to that sentence or what happened at that moment. For example: "He wouldn't have died if I had gone to the cemetery with him." The sentence is addressed to the past and implies that, in the end, I did not go to the cemetery with him, from where he did not return alive.
Whereas, if I had gone there, the character would still be alive. Let's take this other sentence: «He asked me if I would go with him to the cemetery». In this case the guy wanted to know if I would go, in an unspecified future, to the cemetery with him. I didn't specify what I did next, whether I accepted his proposal or not. These are just two examples, but we can make Special Data others: if you passed me the beer, I could drink too: it's an incitement, perhaps made with an impatient tone; if you pass the test to me, I will give you one hundred euros: it is an attempt at corruption and to save your skin in the exam.
We are talking about the future; I'm not really sure whether I could kiss her : it clearly shows the ugliness of the girl in question; if you call me , I'll answer you immediately: it implies the close relationship of friendship/love between two people. Always consider what is happening, what has happened, and what is yet to happen.A post titled The Power of the Double-Whammy Headline: How to Increase the Chances of Your Content Being Read became Are two headlines better than one?
