Supposing

I'd like to ask you if it's possible such a combination with "supposing".

"Supposing you have tried again and failed, would you try one more time?"

Should I use 'will" in place of "would"?

Thank you

Hotmale Should I use 'will" in place of "would"? No. "supposing" puts your assertion into the world of the imagination.

  • Hotmale Should I use 'will" in place of "would"?
  • No.
  • "supposing" puts your assertion into the world of the imagination.
  • When you compare "will" and "would", "will" is more in the real world, and "would" is in the world of the imagination.
  • You need to be consistent in both parts of your sentence, so "would" is the correct choice.
