A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single A1-A2 reference sheet. It supplies explanations and examples, not a set of exercises or an answer key.
- Read the two diagrams and identify the future time. Compare the prediction about rain with the decision to call.
- Build positive, negative and question forms from the four examples. Keep the main verb in its base form after will.
- Practise a short offer or promise using a familiar verb, then explain whether it predicts an event or expresses a choice.
Support and extension
Support with a few verbs and one future-time expression. Extend by giving different meanings to will in simple contexts; avoid implying that it is the only way to refer to future time.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
