Will and would

If you you delete 'to', both sentences 'would' or 'will' be fine.

Would either word be correct in the above sentence?

Also, did I use the word 'either' correctly?

Many thanks.

Sorry. I meant to say would both words, 'would or will', be correct in this sentence (just as an example):

If you delete the word (to) in your sentences, both sentences 'would or will' be correct.

Is my question clearer now?

MM, I think Anon meant to ask this.

Would either word choice (would or will) make sense in this sentence?

If you delete to, both sentences would be fine.
If you delete to, both sentences will be fine.

Yes teacher, that is what I meant! So are both fine? I think, yes.

The first is not really acceptable; you need to do this:

If you deleted 'to', both sentences would be fine.
If you delete 'to', both sentences will be fine.

Then they are both fine.

Thank you. So it would not be correct if I switched both words in each sentence. right?

Just another example: if you change for to to, both sentences will be fine. And it would be wrong if 'would' was used unless I used 'changed'. Is what I have here correct?

Finally, is my first sentence above written correctly?

Thank you so much again !

I am sorry hehe Emotion: big smile. I meant the second sentence, specifically the way I used 'would' and followed by 'switched'.

Yes, that sentence is OK in meaning and structure.
