🕒 The 'Will' Shortcut

When we talk about the future, we use will. It is a simple way to say what happens next.

Look at these examples from the story:

  • She will start medicine. \rightarrow (Future action)
  • She will not work. \rightarrow (Future negative)
  • She will not be on TV. \rightarrow (Future state)

How to build it: Person + will + action word

Quick Tip: Use will not when something is stoping or missing in the future. It is much easier than other future forms because the action word never changes!
