Introduction

The London police are preparing for two big protests and a football game this Saturday.

Main Body

The police will use 4,000 officers. They will use drones, helicopters, and dogs. They will also use special cameras to find criminals by their faces. This costs 4.5 million pounds. Two groups are marching. One group has 50,000 people. The other group has 30,000 people. The police are worried because some people might fight. The police have strict rules. Each march has a special path. The marches must end by 5:30 or 6:00 in the evening. Some people from other countries cannot come to London.

Conclusion

The police are ready. They will arrest people who say mean things or go to the wrong places.

Learning

🚀 The "Will" Power

When we talk about the future (things that haven't happened yet), we use will.

Look at these patterns from the text:

  • Police will use drones →\rightarrow (Action in the future)
  • They will arrest people →\rightarrow (Action in the future)

How to build it: Person + will + action word

Simple Examples:

  • I will go to London.
  • He will help you.
  • We will eat at 6:00.

🔢 Counting People and Things

In English, we add an -s to the end of a word when there is more than one.

  • 1 officer →\rightarrow 4,000 officers
  • 1 drone →\rightarrow drones
  • 1 camera →\rightarrow cameras
  • 1 person →\rightarrow 50,000 people (Special word: person →\rightarrow people)

📍 Direction & Time

Time: Use by to show a deadline (the latest time something can happen).

  • End by 5:30 →\rightarrow No later than 5:30.

Place: Use to to show movement.

  • Come to London →\rightarrow Moving toward the city.
