🌡️ The 'Now' vs. 'Later' Switch

Look at how the text moves from today to the future. This is the secret to A2 speaking.

1. Right Now (The Present) We use simple words to describe things as they are:

  • The air is cold.
  • The temperature is low.
  • There is rain.

2. The Change (The Future) When we talk about next week or the holiday, the word changes to will or might:

  • It will get warm. \rightarrow (100% sure)
  • It might be 26 degrees. \rightarrow (Maybe/Possible)
