Answer» Whereas ‘would’ is used to talk about something in the past or a hypothesis, ‘will’ is used to talk about the future – to say what we believe will happen or to talk about what people are WILLING to do or to make promises. Eg: I would have called you if I knew. I will let you know the details of the plan. Thus, here ‘will’ must be used in (2) INSTEAD of ‘would’ to make the sentence grammatically CORRECT. The usage of 'will' can also be understood from its use in the latter part of the sentence. To maintain parallelism and denote both the ACTIONS in the future, we use 'will'. |
