In an expression of wish, desires, containing 'If' and 'had', should 'would have' necessarily come after that or simply 'would' would do fine?
Are both of these correct?
"If I had to choose one, I would have to say it's red that I prefer the most among all the colours."
"If I had to choose one, I would say it's red that I prefer the most among all the colours."
Solution 1:
Both are correct. The first has more of a obligated tone to it, because of the 'have to', and the second simply talks about what action you would take, but both mean the same thing.
