Word choice
Which one is correct in these cases, will or would?
How long will or would it take you to complete the project?
It will or would take me a few hours to complete it.
Will sounds like the correct one (straight forward present/future choice), because would is more hypothetical which is not the case in this sentences. And a hypothetical example would be: if I started now, it would take me a few hours.
Am I correct and is my explanation correct?
Thanks.
