In this mini English blog, I want to discuss one of the uses of Will to express the future.
As we previously discussed in other blogs there are a number of different ways of expressing the future.
Using Will is one ways to express the future and Will has a number of different uses, however in this blog I want to focus only on Will as used to express decisions.
When we are speaking about an action in the future, and we make decision about this future action while we are speaking we must use will.
For example:
"I don't know if I should go to the cinema or not...hhmm...OK I will go with you."
In this sentence the speaker is unsure about a future trip to the cinema, however while they are speaking they make up their mind to go to the cinema, so they must use Will to express this decision, because will is used to express a decision made at the moment of speaking.
Will is used to express a decision made at the moment of speaking.
There you have it another use of will for expressing the future!
