Answer 1

The correct answer is: "If he expresses"

Key Points

In English, conditional sentences often use the present simple tense in the "if" clause.
This is because the action in the "if" clause (expressing love impressively, in this case) is generally a habitual or factual condition.
Therefore, the usage of "if he expresses" is more appropriate than "if he will express."
"Expresses" is in the present simple tense and is commonly used in conditional sentences to indicate a general truth or habitual action.
This emphasizes that the person (he) is actively involved in expressing his feelings.

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
