Hello guys,
Sometimes I ask myself if I should use Future or Present in such sentences.
Before I tell you my examples, I would like to say that it's not a "conditional-if".
"If... then" - not in this case.
P1: My sister said she would come today.
P2: Okay, let's see if she comes.
P2: Okay, let's see if she will come.
P1: I bought a new motorcycle that should reach 300 km/h.
P2: Let me try out if it reaches 300 km/h.
P2: Let me try out if it will reach 300 km/h.
I prefer the Present versions.
Cheers!
