What is the difference between will and would?

Difference Between Will and Would

The auxiliary verb 'Will' is used widely in particular sentences to convey an event that is definitely going to happen. For instance: 'I will do my homework tonight.' or 'I will go to the birthday party this Saturday'. An easier way to say it is: 'I am going to go the the birthday party this Saturday'.

'Would', though, is used in sentences that is describing preferences, events that 'MIGHT' happen. For example: 'Would you like an ice-cream or a glass of milk?'. Alternatively, 'I would go if I did not wake up late.'

Sometimes, for instance, the sentence as I mentioned before: 'I will go to the birthday party this Saturday' will become: 'I would go to the birthday party this Sunday IF it is not raining. Apparently, the Word 'IF' has changed the auxiliary verb 'Will' to 'Would'.

You'll notice that you are improving more and more as you stick to the rules. Remember, the Word 'IF' always changes the auxiliary verb, from 'Will' to 'Would'. Rule is rule. Apart from that, you need to use your common sense as well.
