Using "will" for persistent habit.
Using "will" for persistent habit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In my variant of English, "will" (non-future use) is used to talk about a persistent habit or characterstic behaviour. Can you do that in your variant?
Examples:
He will bite his nails so.
If you will keep nagging him, it's no wonder he gets up and leaves.
She'll just sit there for hours staring into space.
The difference is, wild rats will kill and eat a mouse, starting with its liver first, a domesticated rat will kill a mouse and start eating it brain first.
