Asked on September 11, 2021 in Grammar.
I would probably use ‘would’ in a sentence like that if I was discussing something that might or might not happen:
If she goes, it seems like she would be so far separated from us.
On the other hand, I would be more likely to use the author’s construction if it was something that was definitely going to happen and I was talking about what I thought the result would be:
When she goes, it seems like she will be so far separated from us.
A strong ‘it seems as though’ indicates that an event will happen. The use of’will’ indicates that it is ‘certain’; the weaker ‘which does not seem like’ indicates that the outcome is subjective.
It’s also worth noting that ‘will’ does not necessarily have to be a feeling of certainty. If you provide no reason to give un certainty, then it is a default option as much as a positive. If the speaker/author has no reason, the speaker/author will supply un certainty in two places. When a positive indicator of certainty is needed, most people will apply an extra modifier such as ‘will definitely’ or ‘will obviously’.
