I feel very sad, how much more they would<= feel sad ????
I don't know how to put the situation I will bring below into one sentence.
<situation>______
I started to feel very said after watching TV program about poor people having not enough food.
And I ponder... those poor people will be more said than me...
_______
Something like that...
So I put that into one sentence: "I feel very sad (about them), how much more they would feel sad?
Q) Is 'would' appropriate in the sentence I made? or is there better way describing the situation I brought?

I started to feel very sad after watching a TV program about poor people not having enough food. If I feel sad just watching them on TV, how much sadder would they feel by actually being there?

I was wondering if I don't use 'if' for this situation.
Can I not use a conditional sentence(if) and say like this: I feel this sad, then how much more they would feel sadder.
This is a very strong guess(because I felt very sad after watching the TV program about the poor and I can guess naturally they would feel even sadder.)

If you want to propose a hypothesis, then you have to use a conditional expression.
If I felt sad by watching them (hypothetical / real condition)
then how much sadder might they have felt by being there. (consequence of the condition.)
I felt sad by watching them and they felt even sadder by being there. (Factual statement - there is no proposed co

A real condition is something that with 100% certainty, can be true.
If you go to sleep, you will dream. This is factually true, according to people who do sleep research.
If you put a pot of water on the "high" setting, it will come to a boil.
A hypothesis is a statement that we do not know if it is true or not. Example:
If it rains tomorrow, I will no

Unfortunately,the hunger in the world still exists.I think that we must help them.In fact,there are association that help these persons as unicef,onu,fao.The best thing to do is to go in africa to help them...We can stay at home watching these TV program and don't do nothing...Anyway you wrote this sentence,in my opinion,in a good way

Thank you CJ. This enlarges my understanding more for this question.
I have one more question.
Let me say I use the same situation but the different tense.
It would be easy to understand, if I add this; they(the poor) are dead; now they are not in this world anymore.
Q1) So, to describe the same situation but the different tense, only change some words in your s
