A COMMON MISTAKE

“If you eat well, you would stay strong.”

What's wrong? Choose the right one.

WHY would for a real chance

For a real chance in the future: if + the present, and will in the other half. would goes with if + the past (If I ate better, I'd feel stronger).

Not: If you eat well, you would stay strong.

Say: If you eat well, you'll stay strong.
