How to use “会”and “要” when they are particle?One of my students questions today in class. To answer that,first of all, we need to know the difference between them. Please look at the sentences below:
- 我要给你打电话。
- 我会给你打电话。
作为助动词,第一句话中的“要”表示一种意志。而第二句中的“会”则表示一种可能性。即:“我给你打电话”这个动作有可能实现。
As particle,“要”in first sentence emphasizes a will while “会”refers to the possibility that the action is going to happen .
另外,“要”还常用来表示“将要”。例如:要下雨了。我要去旅行了。“会”还可以表示“擅长”。例如:这是个能说会道的人。
