Learning

⚡️ The 'Will' Power

In this story, we see the word will used many times. We use it to talk about things that happen in the future.

Look at these patterns:

  • will fight → (Action in the future)
  • will use → (Plan for later)
  • will never be → (Something that won't happen)
  • will add → (A future change)

Quick Rule: Person + will + Action = Future

Examples from text:

  • They will fight on May 9.
  • They will hate each other.

📦 Simple Feelings

Beginners often use big words, but A2 English uses simple descriptors. Notice how the text describes the fighters:

  • Angry (The feeling)
  • Scared (The fear)
  • Bad (The quality)

Instead of saying "They have a hostile relationship," the text simply says: "They do not like each other." → Keep it simple to be clear!
