💰 Talking about Money

In the text, we see two ways to say a company uses money. Look at the difference:

Spend $\rightarrow$ Using money to buy something. *Example: "Meta wants to spend 145 billion dollars."

Give $\rightarrow$ Handing money to someone else. *Example: "Investors give money to AI companies."

⏳ Now vs. Later

Notice how the story moves from today to the future:

Now: "They choose both..."
Future: "Profits will come in 2027."

To talk about the future, just add will before the action word.

Now $\rightarrow$ Will (Future)

Make money $\rightarrow$ Will make money
