⚡ The 'Will' Power

In this story, we see how to talk about the future. When we are sure something happens later, we use will.

Look at these examples:

  • They will play...
  • Dylan Lucas will also play...

How to use it: PersonwillAction

Simple Switch: If someone is hurt → they cannot play. If someone is healthy → they will play.


🧩 The 'Back' Concept

Notice how the text uses the word back. It doesn't mean the part of your body here. It means returning to a place or a group.

  • Mitchell Moses... are back in the team.
  • Reece Walsh is back.

Meaning: They were away → Now they are here again.
