I'd be happy if someone would answer my question. Thanks in advance.
Are these two sentences the same in meaning?
A: I accept your offer.
B: I would accept your offer. --- Second one is hypothetical. It means the offer has not been accepted yet.
Again, are these two sentences the same in meaning?
C: I apologize.
D: I would apologize. --- Same reason with the above.
Yet again, are these two sentences the same in meaning?
E: It's going to rain. I advise you to take an umbrella with you.
F: It's going to rain. I would advise you to take an umbrella with you. --seems meaningless to me in this sentence.
I think A, C and E express actions (accepting / apologizing / advising) which end immediately after saying. --- In a dialogue you can tell all of them without any problem.
But how about B, D and F? Do these have the same function as A, C and E? -- no for example if you say I would accept your offer that means in real time you haven't accepted the offer, but if you were given the chance, you would accept.
(Is A the same as B? / Is C the same as D? / Is E the same as F?)
I think B, D and F just help say in a roundabout way. --- Rather than a roundabout way, I see them as a supposition of an unreal situation.
This is my try.
