📅 Talking About the Future

In the text, we see how to talk about things that will happen later. Look at these two ways:

1. The 'Will' Way (Certain plans)

  • "It will be in Washington D.C."
  • "The 2028 draft will be in Minneapolis."

2. The 'Starts' Way (Fixed calendars)

  • "The summer league starts on July 3."

🛠 Word Switch: 'Joined'

When a player becomes part of a team, we use the word joined.

  • Tobe Awaka \rightarrow joined \rightarrow Chicago Bulls.
  • AK Okereke \rightarrow joined \rightarrow Los Angeles Lakers.

Use this word when you start a new job, a new club, or a new school.
