⚡ THE 'WILL' PATTERN
When we talk about the future (things that happen later), we use will. It is very simple because it doesn't change for different people.
Look at these examples from the text:
- Apple will spend money.
- Apple will not build a factory.
- John Ternus will become the boss.
How to use it:
Person + will + action
→ I will buy a phone.
The Negative (No): Just add not after will. → Apple will not build...
Quick Comparison:
- Now: Apple is the company.
- Future: Apple will be the company.
