I have made up the sentences below.
(1a) I said to Jack, "In his new job, Bill has been working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am not sure if this pattern continues."
(1b) I said to Jack, "In his new job, Bill has been working on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am not sure if this pattern will continue."
Most of my non-native friends think either tense of "continue" works. I am not sure if they are correct. Please help me.
Thank you.
correct tense {continues} or {will continue}
