📅 Talking About the Future

In this text, we see two ways to say what happens later. This is a key skill for A2 learners.

1. Using "WILL" (The Promise/Prediction) When we are sure about a future event, we use will.

  • The NFL will give the full schedule...
  • The Buffalo Bills will open a new stadium...

2. Using the Present Tense (The Calendar) When a date is fixed (like a sports schedule), we can just use the simple present.

  • The Denver Broncos play the Kansas City Chiefs on September 14.

💡 Word Power: Opposites
