would change

--feedback--

This phrase expresses the result of the condition. Would shows the hypothetical outcome of the company going out of business.

--explanation--

This sentence uses a Mixed Conditional, combining elements of the First Conditional (real possibility) and the Second Conditional (hypothetical result). Here's the structure:

If + Present Simple tense (real possibility): If they go out of business assumes the event is possible in the future.

Would + base verb (hypothetical result): It would change everything imagines the impact of this event.

Normally, the First Conditional uses will in the result (e.g., If they go out of business, it will change everything), focusing on real, probable outcomes. Here, would is used instead, blending the certainty of the condition with a hypothetical tone in the result. For example:

• If she studies harder, she would pass the exam. - The condition is realistic, but the result imagines what could happen.

• If we leave now, we would avoid traffic. - Real possibility of leaving now and hypothetical benefit in the result.
