A question about future tense
I have a question about using future ( will ) and the present simple.
" I asked Sue what happened, but she doesn't tell / won't tell me. "
The correct answer is I asked Sue what happened, but she won't tell me, but Why ?

In this case "won't" is not a marker for the future tense. The verb will here refers to willingness not the future.

She "won't" meaning she is unwilling to. That's what the answer is trying to say.

Well, in this case she doesn't wish to tell you what happened, so "won't" is correct here.
