"Would there be an availability" vs "Is there an availability" for appointment scheduling?

English Language & Usage Asked by paulkon on March 24, 2021

It’s my understanding that the first is a more formal version of the second phrase however I’m not quite certain that’s the case or that they mean the exact same thing.

One Answer

Both sentences mean the same.

But I think the first sentence sounds more pessimistic than the second one.

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary:

WOULD

'used in auxiliary function to express doubt or uncertainty'.

The second sentence sounds more optimistic.
