(a) It would be interesting to try and find out from his boss what happened at yesterday's meeting


(b) It will be interesting to try and find out from his boosboss what happened at yesterday's meeting.

Both are OK. There is a subtle difference between your two examples. In (a) using "would" suggests the possibility of some investigation; whereas (b) "will" suggests the probability of an investigation.

Try TO find out
Try TO find out
Try TO find out

Just because you hear Try AND find out more often these days, it doesn't make it correct!

Hello

thank you for your response. It is very helpful as I now learn how to use will and would

How about these sentences -

It will be useful to learn more about his performance as an employee
or
It would be useful to learn more about his performance as an employee


It would be of value to learn more about his past activities
or
It will be of value to learn more about his past activities


I assume the same applies to all these sentences...they are all correct. Am I correct?
