The Basic Rules of Conditional Expressions
If and will have to be in separate clauses. The first conditional is about something real in present time. In the second conditional it's about unreal things in the present. So if I were taller I would be a basketball player. If you're not feeling very well, he or she tells you if I were you I would go to the doctor. You can put the main clause first or the if clause second. It doesn't matter so long as we keep if and will separate.
