it will do ?

Hi all,

First of all thank you very much for this website. This is really kind of to provide people with such material for free. W
My question is the following:
What is the precise meaning of "it will do" ? Is it equivalent to "it will work (or suffice)" ?
best regards,
Francois

Re: it will do ?

Without context, it is difficult to give a 100% answer, but 'it will suffice' is by far the most common.

When it means, 'it will work', it has a connotation of 'that's enough to make it work'. Therefore, it is also a version of 'it will suffice'.

Thank you very much for this answer, your service is incredibly valuable for those like me who try to master Shakespear's tongue.
