Change would to will in order to express certainty.

However, when the main verb and the modal are close together, and the main verb expresses certainty, it can sound awkward for the modal to express uncertainty.

I know that he will (not would) get angry. (He hasn't gotten angry yet).

To put the above sentence in the conditional mood, I'd say: I Know that he could get angry. or: I know that he may (or might) get angry.

You can say "I think that he would get angry"
or "I think that he will get angry" Both of these sentences are in the present tense (think), but they express different levels of certainty.

Look at these sentences:

"What do you think your husband would do if he finds us?"
"He would kill us."



Is this confusing? You bet it is!
