Afternoon everyone,
Something simple but important for you today.
First, translate the following:
Habrá una oferta especial en la tienda mañana y estarán anunciándola en las redes sociales.
The reason I’m asking you is because over the past week I’ve noticed some people confusing ‘there will be’ and ‘they will be’.
We can translate the sentence as:
There will be a special offer in the shop tomorrow and they will be announcing it on social media.
Did you get it right?
Habrá = There will be
Estarán = They will be
Not complicated, but easy to make a mistake as only a couple of letters are different.
English is simple, but not easy.
Until next week!
‘they will be’ or ‘there will be’, that is the question
This week’s 3 tips:
SOMETHING TO AVOID 🫣
🤦🏻♀️ ‘You need to take a decision’
Sometimes in British English you will hear ‘take a decision’.
This government took the decision to invest in renewable energy
So it’s not really a mistake, but better to say:
✅ ‘You need to make a decision’
‘Making a decision’ is more common.
When do you need me to make a decision by?
We need you to make a decision by the end of the week
SOMETHING TO SOUND CONFIDENT 🧐
