Will throw vs would throw
Romanian directors pomised they .............. a big party in case they win a prize at the Cannes Film Festival again this year.
a. will throw; b. throw ; c. would throw; d. threw.
Is it a conditional "in case"="if"? What should I use?
Top answer
"in case" is used when we do something in anticipation of a possible future event. In other words, the directors will throw a party before they find out whether they have won. I very much doubt that is the intended meaning.
