II
Read the following extract from the song that Jim usually sings.
Ill get a job!
Ill earn money!
Ill have a family!
Ill be a FREE MAN !

As you can see, we use WILL to imagine the future. But we also use it in
different situations. Read the following extract from a song that the people
from town sing. They are very angry with the King. They want revenge!
They say all the horrible things they want to do to him threats . We
often use WILL when we threaten someone.
Ill kill him, Ill kill him!
Ill cut off his ears
Ill teach him to treat us like this
Ill boil him in oil
Ill become his worst fears
Well tar him, well feather him
Well beat him, well leather him.
Match the words from the song with the descriptions :

We also use WILL for offers and promises

Eg. The Judge will keep Hucks money in the bank. ( Offer)
It will be safe because he is the law. ( Promise)

Now decide if these sentences use WILL to imagine the future (F), to
threaten someone (T), to make an offer (O), or to make a promise (P) .
