πŸ’§ The Power of 'Will'

In this text, the writer talks about the future. When we know something is going to happen or we have a plan, we use will.

Look at these patterns:

  • Government β†’\rightarrow will use β†’\rightarrow water
  • They β†’\rightarrow will also use β†’\rightarrow it for fire trucks

The Simple Rule: Person/Thing + will + Action = Future Plan

πŸ› οΈ Building Words

Notice how we can change a word to describe something else. This is very common in A2 English:

Waste (Something we throw away) β†’\rightarrow Waste water (Water that is dirty/used)

Clean (To remove dirt) β†’\rightarrow Clean water (Water that is now safe)

πŸ“‰ The 'Not Enough' Pattern

To say we have a problem with amount, use this phrase:

"There is not enough [thing]"

Example from text: "There is not enough water under the ground."

Try it with other things:

  • There is not enough time.
  • There is not enough money.
