📅 Talking about the Future

In this text, the writer uses one simple word to talk about things that happen later: Will.

How it works: Subject + will + action \rightarrow Something is going to happen.

Examples from the story:

  • The city will start a new Metro...
  • It will go to Baner...
  • The line will finish in 2026.

Simple Rule: Use will when you are predicting the future or talking about a plan. It never changes, no matter who is doing the action (I will, she will, they will).
