The FutureWill
As you can see from the previous activity.
When we use will to talk about the future we
are usually talking about predictions iesomething unplanned. Because it is a
prediction we often cannot be 100% certain
that it will happen, so we use words like
possibly, may etc. We can also use
expressions like I hope, I think, etc.3
