🎯 The 'Future' Shortcut

In this text, we see two easy ways to talk about things that haven't happened yet. This is key for A2 English.

1. Using 'WILL' When we are sure about a future fact, we use will.

  • The last game will decide the winner.
  • Manchester United will play in the Champions League.

2. Using 'ON' + Date To say when a future event happens, just use on.

  • The final game is on May 31.

💡 Quick Word Swap

Instead of saying 'victory,' the text uses simple words to show who won:

  • Won \rightarrow (Past action) Celtic won their game.
  • Winner \rightarrow (The person/team) Decide the winner.

🚩 The 'Probably' Rule

When you are NOT 100% sure, put probably after will:

  • Everton will probably not.
