When To Use "Will" Or "Would" In A Sentence. by Toluwani113: 3:52pm On Aug 06, 2016 |
When to use "will" or "would" in a sentence Many of us are always confused on when to use either "will" or "would" in a sentence. Whenever we replace any of the words with another, it makes the sentence to become unenglish. I.e grammatically incorrect NB. None of us can boast of knowing it all when it comes to Use Of English (even majority of the so called English natives can't boast of knowing it all) Why ? Because learning is continous. So, let's learn a new thing today. A. When to use 'will' i. To express something that will happen in the future. As in: It will be Independence Day tomorrow ii. To express an instant decision As in: My Mum is coming, I will go and mewt her iii. To request for something e.g: Will you check your results today ? iv. To promise, predict, or offer e.g: I will always care for you Don't trust Bola, she will always lie to you Can't do the task alone ? Don't worry I will come and assist you v. To express an open condition e.g: He will visit you on Monday if the weather is good. vi. to talk about what people want to do or are willing to do As in: My Uncle will buy her a car vii. to make promises and offers. As in: I will meet you there. B. When to Use 'would' Would is the past tense form of will . Therefore, it is used: i. to talk about the past. e.g: The Electrician said he would complete the task next day. ii. To express a half opened or closed condition e.g: He would visit you on Monday if the weather was/were good.(half-opened condition) He would have visited you on Monday if the weather had been good (closed condition) iii.
