Vocabulary Learning
The 'Will' Power
When we talk about the future (things that are not happening right now, but will happen later), we use will.
Examples from the story:
- He will play in the game.
- Sonny Gray will join them.
The Pattern:
Person → will → action
Quick Tip: Notice that the action word (play, join) does not change. It stays simple!
Power Words for Ability
In the text, we see two ways to talk about what a person is allowed or able to do:
- Can (Yes/Able) "He can still play."
- Cannot (No/Unable) "He cannot play."
These words are shortcuts. You don't need to say "He is able to"; just use can!
