Activity 1: “Will” + base verb: For predictions, spontaneous decisions, and promises.
Welcome aboard our linguistic spaceship as we zoom into the World of “Will”! 🚀 When you want to make a prediction, decide something on the spot, or give your word, “will” is the trusty sidekick you call on. It's the ‘flexi-pass’ of the future tense, showing flexibility and a forward-looking perspective.
Crafting the Future With ‘Will’:
Making Predictions: Gaze into the crystal ball and tell us what you see! “Will” helps you predict what might happen, without any current evidence. 🔮 Example: “I think it will rain tomorrow.” (No clouds in sight just yet!)
Spontaneous Decisions: Use “will” when you make a decision at the moment of speaking, not pre-planned. 💡 Example: “You’re cold? I'll close the window.”
Promises and Offers: When you want to assure someone or offer help, “will” is your go-to. 🌟 Example: “I'll help you with your homework after dinner.”
The Formula Is Simple:
- Structure: Subject + will + base verb
- Remember, “will” does not change form. Whether it’s “I will,” “you will,” or “they will,” it stays the same.
An Example in Action:
- Prompt: Imagine your friend forgot their lunch at home.
- Spontaneous Decision Response: “Don't worry, I will buy you lunch today.”
- Explanation: You’re making an on-the-spot offer to help your friend. “Will” shows spontaneous kindness and a decision made right then and there.
