Introduction

Director Christopher Nolan is making a movie called The Odyssey. It comes out on July 17.

Main Body

The movie costs 250 million dollars. It uses special IMAX cameras. Matt Damon plays King Odysseus. He wants to go home to his family after a big war. Some people saw the videos for the movie. They do not like the way the actors speak. The actors use American accents. They use modern words like 'dad'. This is not how people spoke a long time ago. Christopher Nolan says this old story is like a superhero movie. He says people liked old stories about gods. Now, people like Marvel and DC movies for the same reason.

Conclusion

The movie opens in cinemas on July 17, 2026. A new Spider-Man movie comes out on the same day.

🕒 Talking About the Future

In the text, we see two ways to say something will happen later:

  • "It comes out on July 17"
  • "The movie opens in cinemas"

The Secret: Even though these are present verbs (comes, opens), we use them for fixed dates or schedules.

Examples for you:

  • The bus leaves at 8:00 AM. →\rightarrow (Scheduled)
  • The party starts at 7:00 PM. →\rightarrow (Fixed date)

👤 People and Actions

Look at how the text describes people:

  • Matt Damon plays King Odysseus.
  • He wants to go home.

When we talk about one person (He/She), we add an -s to the action word:

  • Play →\rightarrow Plays
  • Want →\rightarrow Wants
  • Like →\rightarrow Likes

Simple Tip: No -s for "They" or "People".

  • People like old stories. (Correct)
  • People likes old stories. (Wrong)
