	Clive  +  243683 Sat, 08 Jul 06 07:00 AM Hi, From time to time, she will smoke in the back yard. From time to time, she smokes in the back yard. Are there any difference between the two sentences? They both describe habits, but #1 stresses persistence, determination. eg I've told you 100 times not to, but you will smoke in the kitchen. (The speaker in this case is irritated.)

My two cents.    I would have said #1 may stress persistence.  I don't sense that it absolutely has to.  I've heard will in this context used neutrally, though I admit it's usually in the 'll form for that kind of usage.
