Second conditional - tense sequence

Correct usage: only single 'you' is enough.

If i knew how much you love him, i wouldn't criticize him so much.

I think instead of 'wouldn't' use of 'would never' will be much better.

Thank you (I am the original author of the post).

So either "loved" or "love" is optional in this particular case?

'Loved' would mean that she might or might not be in love with him at present. But you clearly mean that she is in love with him at present so only 'Love' is correct.

Thank you!

AnonymousThe sequence of tenses rule suggests that it should be "loved" (If I knew how much you loved him…)

The more idiomatic sentence has the past tense "loved."
The present tense is not wrong, but not what a native speaker would naturally say.

Anupam verma'Loved' would mean that she might or might not be in love with him at present. But you clearly mean that she is in love with him at present so only 'Love' is correct.

That is not correct. Please see AS's answer.

Say, a mother-in-law who constantly and continuously criticizes her son-in-law. So she tells her daughter that if she knew he much the daughter loved him, she'd be less critical.

It looks like the
