🕒 Talking about the Future
In the text, we see one very important word for A2 students: Will.
When we are sure about something happening later, we use will + action.
Examples from the story:
- He will go to court (This is a fact/plan).
- He will say he is guilty (This is what happens next).
How to use it yourself:

- She will call me later.
💡 The "Maybe" Words
Sometimes we aren't 100% sure. The text uses might.
- He might go to prison (Maybe yes, maybe no).
- He might not (Maybe he won't).
Quick Tip: Use Will for a promise or a fact. Use Might for a guess.
