Difference between will and would #1 (permalink) Fri Feb 27, 2009 8:59 am   Difference between will and would
 

Can someone please tell me the difference between the following two sentences?

1) Everyday I will be sending an email about the updates.
2) Everyday I would be sending an email about the updates.

Also, how do I say that I will send the updates of each day on that day itself? Are the following sentences OK?

1) Everyday I will/would be sending an email about the updates of the day.
2) Everyday I will/would be sending an email about the day's updates.

.
Use this:

1) Every day I will be sending an email about the updates (for) that day.

'Would' makes no sense without further context; it requires a conditional situation or a clear reference to a past habit.

Hi Daemon,

Your use of 'would' can refer to something you did on a regular basis in the past - more often used in a literary setting.
