As I was writing a narrative exposition, I noticed a phrase that I had written down for the assignment.
"If I tell you to wash the dishes, you are going to do it."
Is this correct? I know antecedents precede the pronoun, but I wouldn't know in the case of the sentence if it translates as "You are going to do it if I tell you to wash the dishes."
Also, I wanted to ask if the verb I used after 'you' is correct. If not, would it be "If I tell you to wash the dishes, you will do it."
"If I tell you to wash the dishes, you are going to do it."
