Here is my question. While I was writing a question, I encountered an issue. can you check if this sentence is right?
"If I was the writer, I would use it as a countable noun so that it will/would(?) sound more specific.
While I've been studying english on my own for long, the proper use of "Would" is terribly difficult to me. I really hate "Would", which makes me stay in chaos.
I can understand the use of "would" in a main clause. However, I ,sometime, am at my wits end about deciding if "would" should be used in a subordinate clause, especially when there is already "would" in the main clause of s subordinate clause like the above.
There are two subordinate clauses in the sentence. One is "If clause" and the other is "So that clause". I know that I have to use the past form in the if clause because clearly, I am not the writer, and that "would" should be used in the main clause because I am just imagining the situation, so "Will" isn't appropriate in the main clause.
Then, which from should I use after the "So that clause". will or would? Should I use "Would" because I am imagining the situation by using "Would" in the main clause? Or should I use "Will". None of the grammar books I've referred to has explained how to use "Would" in a subordinate clause
