🕒 The 'Will' Way

When we talk about things that haven't happened yet, we use will. It is like a bridge to the future.

  • Serena will play tennis
  • Serena will know her opponent

The Rule: Just put will + action word. It never changes, no matter who is playing!


⚖️ Past vs. Now

Look at how the words change when the time changes:

Before (Past) \rightarrow Now (Present)

  • Played \rightarrow Play
  • Won \rightarrow Win
  • Lost \rightarrow Lose

Example from text: "She played two small tournaments" (Finished) \rightarrow "She will play at Wimbledon" (Coming soon).
