The 'Will' Power

In this text, we see how to talk about the future using will. This is the simplest way to say something is going to happen.

How it works: Person + will + action

Quick Tips for A2:

  1. No matter the person: Use "will" for I, you, he, she, we, they. It never changes!
  2. Shortcuts: In speaking, "He will" often becomes "He'll".
