⚡ The 'Future Plan' Pattern
In this text, we see a very common way to talk about things that will happen soon: WILL + Action.
How it works:
Will tells us the future. You don't change the action word after it. It stays simple.
Examples from the text:
- Will stop → (Plan to end something)
- Will cut → (Plan to reduce)
- Will help → (Plan to make something better)
💡 Simple Rule: To talk about a decision for the future, just use: [Person/Company] + will + [Action]
Example: I will learn English.
