§ 2 Will and would for intention, insistence,

certainty or supposition

1. Will/would are used with the first person to express will, intention or determination: I say I will do anything for him. We thought we wouldn’t interfere.

 

2. Will/would are served to imply insistence or consent in if-clauses: ‘It’s about forty minutes’ walk from here and if you will come now I’ll go with you. If you would help me I should make another attempt.

 

NOTE: Will is not normally used after if- clauses: If the weather is fine, we will go to the bank of the river (conditional sentence).

 

3. Will may convey the meaning of certainty or supposition about present or future situations: Don’t phone them now. – They will be having dinner. This will be the school, I believe.

Will + Perfect Infinitive expresses certainty about the past: We can’t go and see them now. They will have gone to bed.

4. Would is found to express that something was to be expected. The meaning is rather sarcastical: ‘ Paula is very brave.’ ‘Yes, she would be brave.’ I don’t approve of his decision.’ ‘No, you wouldn’t. ’ It is renderedin Russian as: этого и следовало ожидать.

 

Learn some set phrases:

· Boys will be boys (Мальчишки остаются мальчишками).

· Accidents will happen (Без несчастных случаев дело не обходится).

· Would rather, would sooner are followed by an Infinitive without to. They mean ‘to prefer’. I would rather do it myself.

· Would…mind…doing in questions means ‘to object’: Would you mind my smoking in? The construction may express a polite request: Would you mind getting me a cup of tea?
