Defining the constraints on the use of the modals will and would in futurate if-clauses in English poses problems to both descriptive and theoretical linguists. One' rule' often referred to is that while future will and counterfactual would do not normally occur in conditional sub-clauses with if, volitional and dispositional will and would can be used in that context. This paper attempts to account for this general rule and for the so-called exceptions to it in terms of two different syntactic positions of if-clauses in the sentence. It is suggested that the contrast can be formalized within current versions of X-theory.
