Hi, everyone.
If I want to say my friend and I do something together every weekend.
Which sentence is better (or right)?
It all depents on her mood what we will do on weekends.
It all depents on her mood what we do on weekends.
Thanks!

Both are ok. Simple present standardly shows habitual or repeated action, so it is fine. The sentence with "will" is not really future tense, but another use of "will" as a modal auxiliary verb, here showing that a choice is being made.
(Look up "will" (first entry as a verb) at

Thanks Pete!
At first, I thought the sentence with "will", then I realized, "No, that is not right. That makes it a future sentence!"
Well, now I know that the both are right.
Thank you again!
