hot day

It's a hot day and you as a passenger would want to confine yourself in the car with the cold air blowing out from your AC by rolling up all the windows. However, the driver stinks maybe because he just got in from outside all sweaty. There's a dilemma. Do you still want to confine yourself with the sweat odor or would you sacrifice the cool air for fresh air.


Are there any mistakes?

Thanks.

Thanks, Clive. I have two questions. If it is too much, just focus on the second question:

1. What's the difference between maybe and perhaps? As far as I know they are interchangable

2. I can accept will but why would is wrong the last sentence?

To me, the 'would' indicates preference. Would you like to dance? How would you rephrase the sentence?

Thank you, Clive. It's clear now. But I need to re-wire my brain. I've always thought would in those contexts were not hypothetical. Emotion: sad
