💡 The 'Will' Pattern

In this story, the team is talking about the future. When we don't know the answer yet, but we plan to decide later, we use will.

How it works:

  • They will decide → (Future action)
  • He will watch → (Future action)
  • The team will pick → (Future action)

Simple Rule: Person + will + action = Something that happens later.


🔍 Comparing People

Look at how the text describes different players. To reach A2, you need to describe why someone is good using simple adjectives:

  • Strong (Power) \rightarrow McGowan is strong.
  • Good (Quality) \rightarrow Both players are good.

Quick Tip: Use 'and' to connect two strengths. Example: "McGowan is strong and runs well."
