would vs will (I would/will be taking an English grammar course next week) #1 (permalink) Tue Mar 17, 2009 13:55 pm   would vs will (I would/will be taking an English grammar course next week)
 

Can someone please tell me if the following sentences are grammatically correct?

1. I would be taking an English grammar course next week.
2. I will be taking an English grammar course next week.


Also, if you are taking an English grammar course, are you the teacher or a student?

Hi Daemon,

Sentence (1) is all right but it needs to be related to a main clause: I said I would be ...
Sentence (2) is fine.

You could be either a teacher or a student if you are taking a course in something.

Thanks Alan!

What I meant was, if I was taking a course, would I be attending the course to learn something or to teach something?

That would not normally be understood to mean that you are teaching the course.

Take care
