Grammar rule

How will works

will / won't + verb

	Example
Positive	It will be sunny. → It'll be sunny.
Negative	We won't need cash. (won't = will not)
Question	Will the store be open? — Yes, it will. / No, it won't.

The same for every person: I / you / she / they will go (no -s, no to, no -ing). Short forms: I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, it'll, we'll, they'll. In a short answer, use the long form: Yes, I will. (not Yes, I'll.)

Four uses

Use	Example
A prediction: what you think about the future	Gas will be more expensive. Our team won't win this year.
An offer: help for another person	You're busy? I'll feed the cat.
A promise: I really will (or I really won't)	I'll write to you every week.
A decision now: you choose something for yourself as you speak	"The bus is late." "OK, I'll walk."

With probably: it will probably snow · it probably won't snow (probably comes after will, but before won't). With I think: I think it'll snow. / I don't think it'll snow.

Watch out: after will, the verb has no -s, no to and no -ing: not She will helps, I will to help or will helping. In questions, will comes first: not Do you will come?, but Will you come?
