⚡ The "Will" Power

In this text, we see a lot of things that happen in the future. To speak A2 English, you just need will + action.

Look at these patterns:

  • will check → future action
  • will open → future action
  • will add → future action

Quick Rule: Don't change the action word. Just put "will" in front of it.

Example from text: Hong Kong will check new drugs (City) + (Future) + (Action) + (Thing)
