Introduction

The New York Giants want to talk to Odell Beckham Jr. He is a wide receiver. He spoke with Coach John Harbaugh.

Main Body

Odell is 33 years old. He is training in Arizona now. The coach wants to know if Odell is strong and fast. Odell did not play in 2025. He did not play well in 2024. Two other players are hurt. Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton cannot play. The team needs new players. They have Malachi Fields and Darnell Mooney now. The team might sign Odell. But they will not pay him a lot of money. He will be a backup player, not the main star.

Conclusion

⚡ The 'Will' Factor (Future Predictions)

In the text, we see how to talk about things that haven't happened yet.

The Pattern: Will + Action Word → Future Result

Examples from the story:

  • They will not pay him a lot →\rightarrow (No big money in the future).
  • The team will decide later →\rightarrow (The choice happens after now).
  • They will wait →\rightarrow (Patient action in the future).

🛑 The 'Not' Trick (Past Negatives)

To say something did not happen in the past, we use a special pair of words: did not + basic action.

  • Wrong: He did not played. ❌
  • Right: He did not play. ✅

Compare:

  • Now: He is training.
  • Past: He did not play in 2025.
