Hi! Will - you use for a prediction, instant decision or offer ( In this sentence you know that you will go out for sure,so it represents a prediction) Would - when we ask for something or we would like something (in this sentence you would like something but you do not know if it will happen or not) Maybe it helped you :-) btw let s wait for someone more expert :-) Cheers Pamela

Hi :-)

Yes - i usually use "would" to express something that i wish but i do not know if it will happen or not.

I will is for the future. Something which you know that will happen for sure

I would is for something which can be but it not sure, a wish or invitation\request

Example with "will - it expresses a certainty that it will be\happen

i will go out
