Need advice on the use of Conditionals, thanks teachers!
Dear teachers,
If a question ask:
Would you like to be as clever as Einstein? Why/Why not?
When giving reason, should we use zero conditional or second conditional as in: If I am so clever, I can do any jobs I like.
If I am wrong in answering the above question, how should I answer it? What tense should I use?
THank you very much for helping, teachers! From Help Wanted

Personally, I would choose type two. It seems to me that type zero is used when conveying unquestionable truths. Given that this question is hypothetical, I would go with the somewhat "loose" type two. It would ultimately depend on the context, though...
