Will and Would are use to express future events that may happen.
Will is use if their is a certaintity that the thing you are refering to is realistic.Example: I will go to market tomorrow.
Would is use if the thing you are referring to is less probable;
Example: He would like to live in a bed of roses

to Will or to Would
Will you take out the garbage
Would you buy 2 or 3 houses if you won the lottery.
Will you - refers to properly asking someone a question, or giving them an instruction, whereas would you has informal undertone to it, as well as a more theoretical/rhetorical feel to it.
Junior, will you take the dog for a walk
Junior, would you take the dog for a walk, is something a kid would say, or in the above example a parent whos asking for a second third or last time, with a sarcastic or commanding undertone. O plainly, someone who doesnt care or simply lacks proper grammar skills. Its just an informal, incorrect way of saying will.
Like can i have a sandwhich vs may I have a sandwhich.
Both are acceptable, but only those that truly value grammar would pick up on the subtle difference between the two.
Hope it helps

This is a complicated question.
"Would" is more polite than "will" in requests:
"Would you please hand me that paper?"
"Would" is used when talking about the future of something that happened in the past:
"Bill thought that his friend would come at 8:00, but his friend actually came at 7:00."
"Would" is also used in the effect clause of unreal conditional:
"If I had a million dollars, I would buy a huge house."

I WILL ask yahoo answers to help me with English.
I WOULD hope the answers are correct.
Note that will is a definite action.
By using would,there is a hope of correct answers,but not a certainty
