The 'Future' Shortcut

In this text, we see one word used many times to talk about things that aren't happening yet: will.

How it works: Put will before the action word. It doesn't matter if the person is one or many; it never changes.

  • Poland will buy → (Future action)
  • Sweden will build → (Future action)
  • Sailors will start → (Future action)

The Logic: Present: Poland has submarines. Future: Poland will have submarines.
