If...Could
I have a question regarding "if" conditionals with could.
"If they see us, they could kill is."
"If they see us, we could start something between us."
They "could" mean "might", as in, the person is only stating is as a possibility, and not a guarantee if the condition becomes true?
How about: "I might go to the party if my mom lets me."
"I could go to the party if my mom lets me."
Do these convey a possibility, and not a guarantee (if the conditional becomes true).
