Lesson 5: When will you finish that report?

Mastering the Future Simple (WILL) in the Workplace

🏢 In the Office: The Urgent Report

Read and listen to the conversation between a boss and his employee.

Listen to the dialogue!

Mr. Olsen

Miss McEntire! Is that report finished?

Miss McEntire

Almost. It'll be ready in 10 minutes.

Mr. Olsen

Good, because I'll use it in the meeting with our new clients in 30 minutes.

Miss McEntire

Don’t worry, sir. It'll be ready.

⚙️ Grammar Core: How to use WILL

In English, we use the future verb tense to talk about actions in the future.

"Will" and its negative form "will not" (or "won't") are modal auxiliary verbs.

Important Rules:
1. There is NO "s" on the third person singular.
2. It is always followed by the base form of the verb (infinitive without "to").

✅ He will leave later. (NOT: He will leaves later. NOT: He will to leave later).
✅ We use the contraction: "I'll leave later" or "He'll leave later".

🗣️ Michigan Pronunciation Tip: Won't vs Want
Many students confuse these two words!
- WANT (desire) sounds like "wont" (short 'o' like in "hot").
- WON'T (will not) sounds like "woh-nt" (long 'o' like in "boat"). Click to listen to the difference!
