Vocabulary Learning
🏁 The "Future" Trick
When we talk about things that will happen later (like the year 2027 or 2030), we use a special word: Will.
- The Pattern: Person/Thing will Action.
- From the text: "They will show the car in August."
Why use this? It is the simplest way to tell someone about a plan. You don't need to change the action word.
Quick Examples:
- I will go (Future)
- It will be (Future)
- Ford will win (Future)
🛠️ Comparing Things
Look at these two words from the story:
- Better (Example: better cars)
- Simpler (Example: becoming simpler)
When you want to say something is "more" than something else, you often just add -er to the end of the word.
