Is the above correct? 2. Which choice is better? Thanks.    New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member (7,670) Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

I would choose doesn't dissolve, but either will work.    optilang Joined on Tue, May 13 2008 Poland Senior Member (2,175) OptiNative British English Speaker Wherever I may roam, I'm still a Londoner.

	New2grammar  #541170  Mon, 14 Jul 08 11:43 AM How about the following: You will have to mix the catalyst in when the temperature drops to 55 degrees Celsious so it [doesn't dissolve/won't dissolve] into the liquid instantly. Now which choise is better?    New2grammar

Now which choise is better? I still say either, but here I would reverse my choice and choose won't dissolve as being better.    optilang

	optilang  #541176  Mon, 14 Jul 08 11:52 AM I will attempt to explain my choices: In the first sentence, it sounds to me like directions/instructions to be followed - do this so that it doesn't .. In the second it sounds more like information  -   you will have to ......... so it won't ... Hope that helps.    optilang
