Difference between this 2 sentences
Hey guys! Is there any difference between:
"If I told you what I'm doing to the controls, you would understand"
and
"If I was/were to tell you what I'm doing to the controls, you would understand"
Could you play explain, if there is any? :)

They are very similar. Both "If I told you" and "If I were to tell you" are forms of the subjunctive in English.
The only difference I can think of is that
"If I told you" sounds more like I probably won't actually tell you, whereas
"If I were to tell you" sounds like there is a chance I might tell you.

No difference, they both mean the same thing
