🕒 The 'Now' vs. 'Later' Logic

Look at how the text talks about time. We have things happening right now and things that will happen.

1. Things happening now (Present)

  • Dak Prescott is healthy.
  • Michael Penix Jr. is getting better.
  • The Falcons have new coaches.

2. Things happening later (Future)

  • The team will go to California.
  • The team will practice in August.
  • They will choose players in July.

💡 Simple Rule for A2: If you want to talk about the future, just put will before the action word.

  • I practice (Now) \rightarrow I will practice (Later)
  • They finish (Now) \rightarrow They will finish (Later)
