It's not Andrew, but some basic grammar

Hi,

There is a guy, Andrew, and there is a party tomorrow. Andrew is invited to the party, but his attendance is of no worriment to me. How can I say it?

I don’t care whether Andrew comes or not.

I don’t care whether Andrew will come or not.


Please point me to a grammar topic which deals with this kind of structure.

So, use present tense when you have a conditional sentence, and future when showing that two alternatives are possible. Something like that. Thanks
