The Neighborhood Garden
Learn will through promises, predictions, and spontaneous decisions.
Highlighted words show the future with will.
An empty lot is about to become something the whole neighborhood can enjoy.
On Monday, the neighbors met beside an empty lot. “We will turn this place into a garden,” Mrs. Chen said. Omar promised that he will bring tools, and Ava said she will design a sign. Nobody knows exactly how the garden will look, but everyone is excited.
They think children will plant tomatoes and older neighbors will grow flowers. The work will not be easy, especially in the summer heat. Still, they believe the project will bring people together. “I’ll make lemonade for our first workday,” one neighbor offered.
