##### Units 20-21. Will (Shall/Should)

~할 것이다.





#1. I'll (= I will)



a. We use I'll when we decide to do something at the time of speaking:


* You cannot use the simple present in these sentences.


+ Oh, I left the door ope. I'll go and shut it.

+ What would you like to drink?  -  I'll have some orange juice, please.

+ Did you call Julie?  -  Oh no, I forgot. I'll call her now.

+ I'll go and shut the door. (not I go and shut)


* We often use will in these situations:

Offering to do something(뭔가를 제공해 줄 수 있을 때): 

+ That bag looks heavy. I'll help you with it.


Agreeing to do something(뭔가에 동의할 때): 

+ A: Can you give Tim this book?

   B: Sure, I'll give it to him when I see hime this afternoon.


Promising to do something(먼가에 약속할 때):

+ Thanks for lending me the money. I'll pay you back on Friday.

+ I won't tell anyone what happened. I promise.


Asking somebody to do something(뭔가 할꺼냐고 물어볼때, Will you~?):

+ Will you please be quiet? I'm trying to concentrate.

+ Will you shut the door, please?



b. We often use I think I'll ... and I don't think I'll ...


+ I am a little hungry. I thing I'll have something to eat.

+ I don't think I'll go out tonight. (not I think I won't go out)



c. In spoken English, the negative of will is usually won't (= will not)


+ I can see you're busy, so I won't stay long.


* We can use won't to say that somebody refuses to do something: (거절/거부의 의미로도 사용)


+ I've tried to give her advice, but she won't listen.

+ The car won't start. (= The car "refuse" to start)



d. Do not use will to talk about what you have already decided or arranged to do in the future.


+ Ann is working next week. (not Ann will work)

+ Are you going to watch television tonight? (not Will you watch)


*But often, When we talk about the future, we are not talking about what somebody has decided to do.

=> When we predict a future happening or situation, we use will/won't.

하지만 종종 미래를 말할 때 결심한 상태를 말하지 만은 않는다. 미래 일어날 일이나 상황에 대해 예측할 때는 will/won't를 사용한다.


+ A: This is a very long line!       줄이 너무긴데!

   B: Don't worry. We'll get in.    걱정마, 우리 들어갈 수 있어.


+ Jill has lived abroad for a long time. When she come back, she'll find a lot of changes here.

+ A: Where will you be this time next year?  너 내년에 어디있을거 같아?

   B: I'll be in Japan.    나 일본에 있을거 같애.

+ That plate is hot. If you touch it, you'll burn yourself.

+ Tom won't pass the exam. He hasn't studied hard enough.
