Resposta esperada

Model answer: If I study tonight, I will pass the exam. / If I studied tonight, I would pass the exam. The first (first conditional) presents a realistic possibility tied to a future action; the second (second conditional) treats the situation as hypothetical or unlikely in the present.

Explicação

A primeira frase indica uma situação que pode realmente acontecer no futuro, dependendo da ação de estudar. A segunda frase sugere que a ação de estudar não está acontecendo no presente, tornando a situação irreal ou improvável. Assim, a diferença principal está na possibilidade de realização da ação: real no primeiro caso e hipotética no segundo.
