Will like or would like
In 10 years time...je voudrais être vivant...or Je voudrai être vivant...would like or will like...I wrote je voudrais and someone wrote that it should be future and not conditional..je voudrai...I .found it confusing ...please clarify ))))

To me, le futur would be I will like and the use of le conditionné is more in tune with I would like due to the fact that in 10 years time one is speaking about uncertainty, hence le conditionnel.
J'espère que ma réponse vous aidera.

Thank you...yes I was right to use the conditional...the person who corrected my writing was wrong...She is French and I thought she knew the correct usage but when I replied and questioned her response she said that she was wrong...and that I was right...Steve ))))
