How will he do this

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to inquire about a future action.

This phrase is used to ask about someone's plan or method for accomplishing a task in the future.

Examples:

  • How will he do this without any help?
  • I wonder how will he do this project on his own.
  • Can you explain how will he do this experiment?
  • Do you know how will he do this presentation?
  • I'm curious about how will he do this task.

How would he done this

This phrase is incorrect. The use of "would" is not appropriate in this context as it does not match the tense needed for a future action.


Alternatives:

  • how would he have done this
  • how would he do this
  • how could he have done this
  • how could he do this
  • how might he have done this
The correct phrase is "how will he do this". The use of "will" indicates a future action, while "would" is used for hypothetical situations or polite requests. In this case, the question is about a future action, so "will" is the appropriate choice.
