🌡️ Talking about the Now vs. The Future

In this text, we see two ways to talk about time. Let's look at how we switch from what is happening now to what will happen later.

The Now (Current State) We use simple words to describe the present:

  • "The rain is late"
  • "It is very hot"
  • "North India is dry"

The Future (What is coming) When the text talks about July, the word changes to will:

  • "The weather will get cooler"
  • "Rain will come"
  • "Hot weather will stop"
