I had a nightmare, so I woke up at midnight.
I saw a Skype message which was a notification from my English teacher to inform me that she has opened her lesson schedule for September.
I booked 20 lessons from her immediately. (It is the maximum amount of lessons on her timetable that I can book)
And then, I checked messages in a language learning group. The question was: If I have enough time, I (will / would) watch TV later at night, the words in the bracket which one is correct?
A British woman said both were correct. Her opinion was that "would" could be used in different tenses.
An American man said "will" was correct. I was confused. By the way, which one is correct?

The question was: If I have enough time, I (will / would) watch TV later at night,. Of the words in the bracket, which one is correct?
Feedback
Declarative: If I have enough time, I will watch TV tonight.
Hypothetical: If I *had* enough, I *would* watch TV tonight.
Conditional past tense: If I had enough time, I would have watched TV last night.

De Rien! (I am learning French)
I booked 20 lessons fromwith her immediately.
We say “book lessons with somebody,” not “book lessons from somebody.”
The question was: “If I have enough time, I (will / would) watch TV later at night,.” Which of the words in the bracket which ones is correct?
To me, “will” is correct and “would” sounds wrong. If you changed “have” to “had” then “would” would be right and “will” would be wrong:
If I HAD enough time, I WOULD watch TV….
(This doesn’t mean the same thing as “if I have… I will….”)

Could you please tell me why you change "from" to "with"? Thank you very much.

Could you please tell me why you change "from" to "with"? Thank you very much.
just because we say "book from" not "book with" when talking about booking lessons with somebody.

They can both be correct, and as you may have noticed, it depends on whether you're speaking/learning British or American English. Both are incredibly similar, but have some small dialect differences between the two :)
