🕒 Talking about the Future

In the text, we see two ways to say something will happen later. This is key for A2 level.

1. The "Will" Pattern Used for facts or things we are sure about.

  • Google will show the phones.
  • People can probably buy them.

2. The "Might" Pattern Used when we are not 100% sure (it is a possibility).

  • Phones might cost more money.
  • Google might also show a new watch.

🎨 Describing Things (Comparisons)

To move to A2, stop using just "good" or "bad." Use Comparative words to show a difference:

  • More + long word \rightarrow More storage space
  • -er + short word \rightarrow Thinner phones

Quick Guide: Small \rightarrow Smaller Fast \rightarrow Faster Expensive \rightarrow More expensive
