In this video we will learn how to talk about future predictions. Before we introduce the grammar, let's look at an example. What will she be when she finishes university? She will probably be a nurse. She probably won't be a chef. She definitely won't be a housewife. Now let's review the grammar. We use will/won't to show how certain we are about something happening in the future.
Mark will probably go to France next summer.
It definitely won't rain tomorrow.
The adverb of probability comes after will, but before won't. We use may/might to show that something is possible in the future.
I might go swimming tomorrow.
She may not get here before the movie starts.
The probabilities can be shown on a scale from certain to happen to not going to happen.
will definitely
will probably
might/may
probably won't
definitely won't
Now let's look at some other examples where we can predict the future. Here's a weather map of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. What will the weather be like in London tomorrow. It will definitely be cloudy. What will the weather be like in Cardiff tomorrow? It might be sunny. What will the weather be like in Dublin tomorrow? It probably won't rain. We can also predict things that we might do at a future time. What will she do next summer? She will probably learn to drive. What will he do on the weekend? He probably won't study for a test. What will they do next year? They may take a trip somewhere.

In this video we will learn how to say where things are. First let's review the vocabulary:
The ball is next to the box.
The ball is on the box.
The ball is under the box.
The ball is behind the box.
The ball is in front of the box.
The ball is in the box.
The box is between the balls.
The ball is above the box.
The ball is below the box.
Now let's look at some examples. To find out where a singular item is we can say: Where is the laptop? It's on the desk. For plural items we need to change the be verb to are: Where are the pictures? They're between the windows.

Now we will talk about street locations. Let's review the vocabulary.
The coffee shop is on Oak Street.
The bakery is on the corner of Third Avenue and Oak Street.
The coffee shop is across from the gas station.
The coffee shop is next to the bank.
The hardware store is between the bank and the police station.

The bakery is near the gas station.

Let's look at some examples on this map. Where's the bank? It's on Third Avenue, between the restaurant and the supermarket. Where's the pharmacy? It's on the corner of Willow Street and Second Avenue, next to the hardware store.
