TRANSCRIPT

WILL

-One of the most common ways to talk about the future is with will.

For example: I will call you tonight. (Affirmative)

-In this construction, the word will is a modal

auxiliary verb.

If don’t you help me, I won’t help you (Negative)

WILL

Here are the two main ways that we use will to talk about the future:

1.- NO PLAN

We use will when there is no prior plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision at the time of speaking.

Look at these examples:

Hold on. I will get a pen. We will see what we can do to help

you. Maybe we will stay

in and watch television tonight.

In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision was made at the time of speaking.

We often use will with the verb think:

I think I will go to the gym tomorrow. I think I will have a holiday next year. I don't think I will buy that car.

2.- Prediction

We often use will to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.

Here are some examples:

It will rain tomorrow. People won't go to Jupiter before the

22nd century. Who do you think will get the job?
