the door opens vs. the door will open #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 20, 2009 7:13 am   the door opens vs. the door will open
 

I have a scenario. "Press the button"- This is an action to be performed. Result of the action can be stated as
1. The door opens
2. The door will open

Can you tell me which one among these 2 is correct.
