We use will when we talk about:
- Predictions — what we think or expect will happen
- Beliefs or opinions — what we believe about the future
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Prediction | People will live on Mars one day. |
| Belief | I think it will rain later. |
| Guess | It will probably be expensive. |
| Opinion | She won’t enjoy that movie. |
đź§ Remember:
We use will + base verb for all subjects — no “to”, no “-s”, no “-ing”!

đź’¬ Adverbs of Certainty
We often add adverbs to show how sure (or unsure) we are about a prediction.
| Adverb | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Definitely | 100% sure | She’ll definitely get the job. |
| Probably | 70–80% sure | It’ll probably snow tonight. |
| Maybe / Perhaps | 50% sure | Maybe he’ll call you later. |
| I don’t think… | negative belief | I don’t think it’ll work. |
đź’ˇ Word order:
- After will: It will probably rain.
- Before the subject (for maybe): Maybe it’ll rain.
đźš« Common Mistakes
| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct | Why? |
|---|---|---|

| She will comes later. | She will come later. | Use the base verb (no -s). |
| Will rains tomorrow? | Will it rain tomorrow? | Subject goes after will. |
