I will / I would
0 Shabat Shalom my friends, 02 br
02 br
00 I was pondering a lot about will/would the past couple of weeks. 02 br
00 I asked my friend to rate my English, in a scale of 1 to 10, so I asked him: 02 br
00 'How will you rate my English?' 02 br
00 Granted that he's a Brit, he immiedately got angry with me and told me: 02 br
00 'How WOULD I rate your English? You don't want to know!' 02 br
02 br
00 Why did he use WOULD instead of WILL? I don't get this whole future thing. 02 br
02 br
00 BTW, IF YOU SEE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED, PLEASE DO! IN MY POST! 02 br
02 br
00 I'll apperciate it very much. 0-
