WILL

• Use “will” to talk about the future:

I’ll meet you on Sunday.

I think Peter will be a great pianist. He’s so talented.

• Use “will” for promises:

I promise I will make it up to you.

• Use “will” for offers and requests:

I’ll lend you my car if you want.

This bag is too heavy. Will you help me, please?

• Use will in the first conditional:

I’ll make dinner if you do the dishes.

 WOULD

• Use “would” as a past form of “will”:

Brian said that he would help me. (in direct speech: Brian said, “I will help you”)

• Use “would”  for offers and requests.

“Would you like  some lemonade?“

“Would you please calm down?”

“Would you open the window, please?“

Would you like to join us on Saturday? We’re having a picnic.

I’d rather stay at home than travel all the way to Longleat on Sunday.
