🕒 Talking About the Future

Look at these two ways the text predicts what will happen:

  1. Will (100% sure/Strong belief) \rightarrow "He thinks he will be the first pick."
  2. Might (Maybe/Not sure) \rightarrow "One big change might happen."

Quick Rule: Sure \rightarrow Will Maybe \rightarrow Might
