🌡️ The 'Too' Rule

When something is more than we want, we use the word too.

  • The ocean is too hot. (Hot = Bad)
  • The water is too warm. (Warm = Bad)

Compare it to 'Very':

  • Very hot → Just a fact (It is 40 degrees).
  • Too hot → A problem (The fish are dying).

🌍 Talking about the Future

To say what will happen later, use will + action word.

  • It will stay until 2026. \rightarrow (Future state)
  • Australia will have less rain. \rightarrow (Future change)

Quick Tip: Don't say "will to have." Just say "will have."
