    It doesn’t need to be said. Things that happen in the future are in addition to the things that happened in the past. “I ate scores of breakfasts this year. I will eat dozens more each month.” is not false. No need to add “… than I would if I stopped eating entirely.”

      Lol. I can also say…

      I will die today

      And

      I will die today if I drink this poison.

      Pretty different meaning.
