We use will<\/span> to talk about the future.<\/strong> This means we talk about things that are not happening now and did not happen in the past. It is very useful for making simple predictions about what you think will happen. You can also use will<\/span> for decisions you make right now, at the moment of speaking. The structure is easy: subject + will + base form of the verb<\/span>. For example, I will study English tomorrow.<\/span> This grammar point is fundamental for A1 learners to express future actions and ideas clearly.<\/div>\n

            \n
          • Predictions:<\/strong> When we think something will happen in the future. We are guessing or stating a future fact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            For example, It will rain tomorrow.<\/span> (You think it will rain.)<\/p>\n

              \n
