⚡ THE 'FUTURE' PATTERN

Look at how the text talks about things that are not happening now, but will happen soon. The magic word is WILL.

How it works: WILL + ACTION WORD = Future

Examples from the text:

  • will spend \rightarrow (Planning to pay money)
  • will help \rightarrow (Planning to support people)
  • will use \rightarrow (Planning to employ technology)

Simple Rule: You don't need to change the action word. Just put will in front of it.

  • I help \rightarrow I will help
  • They spend \rightarrow They will spend

Quick Tip: In A2 English, use this for promises, plans, and predictions about the world.
