Question

Her parents decided that we would celebrate her birthday on Friday
1. Her parents decided that we WOULD celebrate her birthday on Friday
2. Her parents decided that we WILL celebrate her birthday on Friday

Is Option 2 no true as far as?

Answer

1. is the preferable sentence because it is indirect speech. For sentence 2 the verb of saying would have to be in the present or the present perfect
"Her parents have decided" ..

Answer

Would usually implies a conditional statement, which you don't have here.

They would celebrate on friday, if .... the sun is out. if she isn't sick. if she wants.

Will has no such condition. They will celebrate friday, rain or shine, sick or healthy, whether she wants to or not.
