[www.keralites.net] Predictions: 'will' - Language Point

When we want to talk about something that we think will happen orpredict to happen in the future, we can use 'will' plus the infinitive (without 'to'). The short form of 'will' is 'll. The negative form of 'will' is won't.

Adverbs with will 

We can use adverbs with 'will'. In positive sentences, they usually go between 'will' and the verb. Tim's boss says '.it'll probably be you.' 'Tim will definitely be in trouble for this.' 'The police will never discover the truth.'  In negative sentences, the adverb goes before 'won't'. 'This probably won't take long.' 'I definitely won't need any help.'

Other common expressions with will: 

I expect - 'The concert finishes at 9 o'clock. I expect I'll be home by 10.'  I'm sure - 'It's a beautiful day. I'm sure you won't need a coat. I think - 'The report is nearly ready. I think it'll be finished by the end of the week.' I don't think - 'I don't think you'll enjoy this film.' I wonder - 'I wonder what she will do next?' Enjoy English!!
