Grammar
Future ‘will’ (affirmative)
We use the simple future to talk about predictions, promises, offers, and spontaneous decisions.
We form the simple future with will + the infinitive form of the verb. For example:
It will rain tomorrow. (Prediction)
I will be with you the whole day. (Promises)
I will help you with that. (Offer)
I will call you right back. (Spontaneous decision).
The structure in the affirmative form is:
Subject + will + verb + object.
We can also use the contracted form ‘ll. For example:
She‘ll be home by 10 o’clock.
They‘ll give us a hand for the move.

Thanks Marc. I didn’t like the video and it was not easy for me to follow the lyrics.
Thank you Marc. The vidéo explains well the song. I knew the song but I didn’t understand English. It’s terrible and sad…
Hi Marc,
I like listening the Hozier’s hit song ˝Take me to the Church˝ very much. Sometimes I also watch the interpretation videos on YouTube. For me, the best interpretation is from the dancer Sergei Polunin. In the video directed by David LaChapelle, he was dancing very emotionally and powerfully. I feel his beautiful dancing as a painful expression about his fights with demons in his life. I watched the film about his childhood and his career as a ballet dancer too.
Thanks
I like doing this exercise. The lyrics of this song is sad. Ok Marc see you in the next lyrics, bye 🖐️👏👍
