The first one is certainly correct. I am not so sure about the second one, but I would not feel comfortable using it. (Perhaps Cas will come by with a good explanation.)

wait
Which is correct:
1-Let's wait and see what he does tomorrow.
2-Let's wait and see what he'll do tomorrow.

Well, I agree with RonBee, and both seem fine to my ears. To me, the second one, modality 'will', expresses our concerns about his future intention: What will he do? Let's wait and see what he'll do.

She does indeed! But then, so do you RonBee!
It is always good to have two different viewpoints on the same issue. Cas is getting quite technical. I personally like that.

I think you are being a bit modest, but I hope Cas will read this stuff!

Re: wait
Are you guys sure that 1) is the right one? I think both are incorrect.The reason is that the word "let's" refers to "let is or let has". Originally Posted by navi t
