Vocabulary Learning
⚡ The 'Future' Bridge
Look at how the text talks about what happens next. We use will to make a prediction about a person's life.
The Pattern:
Person + will + action Something happens later.
Examples from the text:
- He will likely join the team. (He isn't there yet, but he is going there).
- Collin Bland will play for the Rays. (This is his future job).
⚠️ The 'If' Rule
When we aren't 100% sure, we use If. This connects a condition to a result.
How it works:
If + Condition Result
- If he stays healthy he will help the team.
- If he gets hurt he will not be a good choice.
Simple Tip: Use will for a sure guess. Use If... will for a gamble!
