🌡️ The 'Will' Pattern
In the text, we see words like "will likely start" and "will be warm."
When we want to talk about the future (things that haven't happened yet), we use will + [action word].
How it works:
- El Niño will start (Future event)
- Weather will be hot (Future state)
- People may get sick (Future possibility)
