This forum is conducive to my learning English.
I copied the following dialogue from my English textbook.
Hiro: Don't tell anyone what I said to you.
Yuko: I would never do it.
I wonder why the word "would" is used instead of "will".
"will" should be used because of the time reference of the dialogue is present tense which is understood from "tell". So, Yuko promises she will not tell anyone about it from now on.
Domo arigato = thanks.
