    Will vs Would: Learn the Differences Between Will and

    Would in English

    • The subject of modal verbs is an important topic


    when learning the English language and should be
    given sufficient attention, since these verbs are
    frequently used in English and are a central part of 
    English grammar.
    • Will and would are English modal verbs, and in order
    to be sure you’re using them properly, it’s important
    to understand when to use will and when to
    use would. So I invite you to consider some of the
    guidelines regarding will and would in English
    Will vs. Would: How They’re Different (and How to Use Each) 

    • The main difference between will and would is


    that would can be used in the past tense but will cannot.
    Also, would is commonly used to refer to a future event
    that may occur under specific conditions, while will is used
    more generally to refer to future events. 
    • Let’s get into more detail below to illustrate these differences.
    When to use will

    • Will is used when discussing situations with the simple future verb form. It
    is used in statements that have to do with the future.
    - They will have two extra meetings this afternoon.
    - I will be thirty next year.
    • We also use this modal verb to discuss immediate or spontaneous decisions
    or actions.
    - Somebody is ringing the bell. I’ll (I will) go and see.
    - What will you drink? Well, I’ll have a cup of coffee.
    • When we ask someone to do something for us, or when we need to ask
    something about the future, the word will is a good word to use.
    - Will you tell Jane that we expect her for dinner?
    - Will you copy these files and print them for all the students, please?

    • For promises, sentences, and predictions, use will.


    - I will always remember you.
    - Can’t you do this task? Don’t worry, dad will soon come and help you.
    -Those people won’t (will not) tell you the truth.
    • The word will is used in Type 1 conditional sentences.
    - We will go fishing at the weekend if the weather is good.
    - You will pass the exam if you study well.
    When to use would

    • Firstly, the word would is the past tense form of the word will.


    - Jack said he would finish the work the next day.
    - Ann said she would write us soon.
    - He hoped she would come.

    • Would is used in Type 2 and Type 3 conditional sentences.


    - I would phone Sue if I had her number.
    - We would have gone fishing on the weekend if the weather had been good.
    • In cases where both will and would can be used, it is considered more polite
    to use would.
    - Would you like some juice?
    - It’s hot in here, would you mind opening the window?

    • A few more examples of the modal verb would:


    - Would you like a piece of apple pie? (question)
    - I’d (I would) like to have some milk. (request)
    - I’d like to learn French very well. (desire or plan)
    - I’d rather have a glass of water than juice now. (preference)
    Now Practice !!!
    Your assignment is to write an answer to
    the question “What would you do if you
    could change the world?”

    THANK YOU!!!
