Grammar
Will or Is?
Hi, I have a sentence I'm having some difficulty with.
Option 1: "There are situations in which a stock price is inflated a few cents and the market is still investing its collective life savings."
Or 2: "There are situations in which a stock price is inflated a few cents and the market will still invest its collective life savings."
My question is which one is more appropriate: will or is?
And does it matter if I change the 1st is to will too, meaning should they match up? I.e.: "… in which a stock price will be inflated a few cents and the market will …"
With the words "situations in which" I'm kind of talking about something hypothetical that happens sometimes … so what do you think is best here? I appreciate the support.
