⚡ The 'Right Now' vs. 'Coming Soon' Switch

In this story, we see two ways to talk about time. One is for things happening now, and one is for things that will happen.

1. Now (Current State/Action)

  • He is visiting Las Vegas...
  • He wants a new team...

2. Future (The Plan)

  • Mr. Foley will be in Las Vegas...
  • He will talk to NBA officials...

🔑 The Pattern: The Magic Word "WILL"

If you want to move from beginner to A2, stop overthinking the future. Just use WILL + Action.

  • I want coffee (Now) \rightarrow I will drink coffee (Later)
  • He is in Vegas (Now) \rightarrow He will be in Vegas (Later)

Quick Tip: Notice how "will be" and "will talk" don't change based on the person. It is the simplest way to predict the future!
