Learn 30+ common “WILL” sentences in English

Hey everyone, I'm Alex, thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson on 30+ common "will"

phrases, or "will" sentences, if you will.

Hah, see what I did there?

Okay.

So, today, we are going to look at some very common sentences, expressions, phrases that

people use with the word "will", so this will give you some set phrases that you can add

to your vocabulary bank, your personal chest of vocabulary that you have, treasure chest

of vocabulary, and hopefully this will make you a more confident and natural speaker and

you'll be able to recognize these phrases and sentences, expressions, when you hear

them in various media that we all consume.

So, let's begin.

"We'll see."

So, you can use "We'll see.", you know, if someone is telling you that something is going

to happen or you're not sure about how something is going to go.

For example, if you're waiting for a new movie and, you know, you don't know how it's going

to turn out, you might just say "Hm, looks okay, but we'll see."

We will see when it comes - when it releases, we'll see the quality once it's here.

Next, "You'll never know unless you try.", or "You'll never know until you try."

So, this is a very common expression.

Basically, it just says "Try it, or you'll never know".

Maybe you would like it, maybe you would enjoy it.

Maybe it's a new food, alright, and your friends are saying come on, you will love it, I'm

sure you'll love this and you say "Nah, it doesn't look good", or "Oh, I don't like spicy

food - you said it was a little spicy".

And then they say, "No no no, you might love it, but you will never know, you'll never

know until you try.", or "Unless you try.".

Next, "I'll give it a shot.", or "I'll give it a go."

So, this is very idiomatic, to give something a go means to try it, to give something a

shot also means to try something, so we were talking about trying a new food and your friend

says "Here, try this, it's a little spicy, but I think you'll like it."

You're curious, so you say "Okay, I'll give it a shot", okay?

I will try it, or I'll give it a go.

So, I will try it.

Give it a shot, give it a go, you will do this, this means you will try it.

Okay.

And you can do this with food, or with activities, maybe your friends invite you to go skydiving,

say, "I've never gone skydiving before, but I'll give it a shot."

I'll give it a go.

Okay.

Here, we have some various sentence endings, but the most common beginning of this is "You'll

never guess what happened!"

"You'll never guess whom I saw."

"You'll never guess what ____ did."

What she did, what he did, what David did, what Marlon did, what Veronica did, so I just

saw something amazing, or I just saw something shocking.

You will never believe me.

You will never guess what happened.

You'll never guess - excuse me, you'll never guess whom I saw.

You'll never forget - you'll never guess what she did, what he did, etc.

Next, so, this is promising a person that, you know, they will have - they will receive

justice in the future for an action that they did, for something that was bad, maybe something

wrong that they did.

So, you say "You'll be sorry!" in the future, "You'll regret this!"

You will regret it, you will be sorry.

You will, you know, have some kind of justice that will come to you because of your choices

or your words or your actions.

"I'll think about it."

So, someone invites you to go to an event, maybe a wedding, and you're not sure if you

can make it to the wedding because it's very far away, or you already have another commitment

that day, but you say "Hm, I'll think about it.", okay?

Someone offers you something, makes a proposition, and you just say, "I'll think about it."

I'm not sure yet, let me think, I will think about it.

Okay?

Very common way to say goodbye: "I'll see you later."

You can also say "See you later."

If you want to say the fuller, longer form of this sentence, say "I will see you later."

Next, "I'll talk to you later.", similar to "I'll see you later."

Talk to you later, I'll talk to you later.

I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll talk to you later.

Next, Oh, "I'll take it.", or "Ooh, I'll take one."

So, if someone is giving free samples, maybe, of a specific food, like little candies or

chocolates or maybe you go to a big store like Costco where they give samples of, you

know, chips or hot dogs or something, and you say "Ooh, I'll take one.", okay.

I will take one.

You make the decision in the moment to take one, or to take some of something.

Okay, very simple: "I'll do it."

You asked me, I say yes, I'll do it.

Anything you want, okay?

So, this is when you agree to do something for someone, or if someone is asking a group

of people, saying "Hey, who can go to the store to pick up some milk?"

"I'll do it.", okay?

Next, ordering food in a restaurant, "I will.", and the most common verbs for ordering food

in a restaurant or in, you know, in a take-out counter, you can say "I'll take", "I'll have",

or "I'll get" a hamburger, for example, or I'll get Combo Two.

I'll have a large coffee.

I'll take just a bottle of water, please, okay?

So, you can use these expressions: I'll take, I'll have, I'll get when you are ordering

food at a restaurant or when you are, you know, in front of the order counter at a fast

food restaurant, for example.

Next, "I'll get it!", so this can be when you are offering to answer a phone or if someone

is knocking on the door and you offer to answer the door, or answer the phone and say "Oh,

I'll get it."

Okay?

Or the phone rings in your house, "I'll get it!".

I will pick up the phone, or I will answer the door.

I'll get it.

Okay?

You can also use this when you're at a restaurant and you offer to pay for someone, so someone

- the bill comes to your table and your friend says "Oh, I'm going to pay..." and you say,

"No no, I'll get it.", okay?

I'll get it, I will pay, okay?

And if you want to tell people you will be - you know, you will return shortly: "I'll

be back.", the Arnold Schwarzenegger line: "I'll be back.", or "I'll be right back.",

so right back means even faster, okay?

I'll be right back, right back, guys.

I'll be right back.

I told you I would be right back, now I am back.

So, finally, if anyone needs me, I'll be... so, you're making an announcement to a group

of people and you have to leave because you're going to a place or you're going to be doing

an action so you can say "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the living room."

A location.

If anyone needs me, I'll be playing video games in the basement.

If anyone needs me, I'll be re-watching the Star Wars trailer for the millionth time,

or something like that, for whichever Star Wars movie is out at the time of this video.

I'm sure it's like, the 30th movie by now.

I'm not complaining, it's good.

It's mostly good.

Okay.

So, if anyone needs me, I'll be in the second part of this video.

Come with me.

I told you I'd be here.

So, next, "I'll be there in a minute.", okay?

So, when someone is calling you and you need to finish something first, you say "I'll be

there in a minute."

Okay?

Or "I'll be there in a sec - in a second.", alright?

"I'll pay you back."

So, if someone lends you money, you borrow money from someone and, you know, you promise

that you pay them back, you say "Don't worry, I'll pay you back."

I'll pay you back tomorrow.

I'll pay you back next week.

You know, I'll give you the 20 dollars the next time I see you.

Okay, next, "I'll never forget the time when..." you know, you can list your favorite time

or one of your favorite times in your memories, so "I'll never forget the time..." you don't

even have to put when, you can just put a subject right away.

"I'll never forget the time we drove to Nova Scotia."

I'll never forget the time we took a trip to Barbuda, something like that that.

I'll never forget the time, I will always remember.

"I won't forget this.", okay?

So maybe if you're an evil villain in a movie, you could make this sound very menacing by

saying "I won't forget this!", or if someone does something nice for you, you can say "Oh

thank you, I won't forget this.", okay?

If someone doesn't allow you to do something, you can say "He won't let me..." do something.

So, + a base verb.

"He won't let me go out tonight.", maybe if you're a teenaged girl and your father says

"No, you're not going out tonight!", "He won't let me go out tonight."

He won't allow me to go to out tonight, or he won't let me see you, whatever it is, or

she won't let me, they won't let me, okay?

"I'll get you!" (next time), or just "I'll get you!", or "I'll get you next time!"

So, this can have a couple of different meanings.

This can mean that you're going to catch someone, if you're chasing after them, say "I'll get

you!" or "I'll get you next time!", maybe you and your friends you play basketball in

a friendly way once a week and your friend beats you, you say "Ah, I'll get you next

time.", okay?

This can also mean, again, to get someone can also mean to pay for them in a restaurant,

so if your friend pays for you and says "Oh, don't worry, I'll get it, I will pay."

And you can say "Ok ok, I'll get you next time."

I will cover you, I will pay for you next time.

"I can't!

X will kill me!".

So, your friend asks you to do something, say "I can't do that, my mom will kill me!"

or my wife will kill me, my husband will kill me, my whatever - whoever will kill me, okay?

It's something that is very bad to do because someone will not be happy with me.

Not literally kill, obviously, it's just, you know, an expression.

So, don't worry.

"It'll be okay.

It'll be fine".

Learning a language is tough, but if you practice daily, make sure that you talk with other

people who are also doing the same thing, you will see you're normal, the struggles

are normal, it'll be okay, it'll be fine, I promise.

"It won't work."

It won't work!, okay, so "It doesn't work.", you can say, but you can also - If you're

trying to get your phone to work and maybe the battery is dead or maybe you got a bad

phone, say "It won't work, it's not working.", okay, or a password.

It's like "What's your password?"

"It's [mumbles]."

"It won't work!

Your password is wrong, it's a bad password."

Next, "I'll die before...", so this is something that is extreme, something that is important

to you, and you don't want to give to another person.

So, for example, I will die before I give you my password!

Okay?

So your friend is asking for your password, for your email password for example, or your

YouTube or EngVid password, you say "No No, No way, that is personal, I will die before

I let you have my password!", okay?

"What'll you do?"

What happened?

What'll you do now?

Okay, so maybe something dramatic happened in your life and you don't know what you're

going to do next and your friends are asking you "What'll you do?"

What'll you do now?", okay?

So maybe you lost your job, for example, and your friend is talking to you, like, "What'll

you do now?"

You can also say "What are you going to do now?"

like, what do you plan to do, but you can also simply say "What'll you do?", okay?

Next, "When will you know?".

So maybe you had medical tests and you're waiting for the results and your friend comes

and asks you "Hey, when will you know?

When will you know the results?" and you can say "Okay, well the hospital said they would

call me within two to three months after they process the blood tests.", for example, okay?

So "When will you know?"

When will you know about the job offer that you're waiting for?

When will you know the results of that?

Okay.

"Why won't this work?"

Going back to the password example, I don't understand why this does not work.

Why won't this work?

Okay?

Or again, you're trying to open up an application on your Windows 10 machine or something like

that and you're like "Ugh, why won't this work?"

Why won't this app open?

Something like that.

"How will you get there?"

So, you made plans with your friends to go see a movie, or you made plans with your friends

to go on a road trip, let's say to another city that's maybe, like, three hours away.

Your friends want to know "Hey, how will you get there?", okay?

So, how are you getting there?

How will you get there?

"How will we know?"

How will we know.

So again, if there is a job opportunity and there are many applicants and you want to

know, okay, how will I know if I got the job, you know, you're asking maybe the person who

was in charge of the Human Resources department.

How will I know if I'm hired?

How will we know if we're hired, if we get the job?

Please let us know, how will we know?

Okay.

And some more common yes/no questions with "will".

"Will you marry me?"

You've heard this one, right?

Maybe not face to face, but in movies and in TV shows and other media.

So, will you marry me?

Will you be my husband, my wife, my partner in life, okay?

"Hey, will you be there?"

Okay, so maybe there's an event, it could be a birthday party, it could be a conference,

it doesn't matter what it is.

You're asking someone, I want to go, but hey, will you be there?

I only want to go if you will be there too.

Next, "Will you have enough time?", okay?

So, maybe you're planning a very very busy day and at the end of the day you have a wedding

to go to, but before the wedding you say, "I'm going to go watch a movie."

And you think "Wait, will you have enough time to watch the movie and make it to the

wedding or to the wedding party, okay?

And "Hey, will you see him?"

Will you see her?

Will you see them in the near future?

Because I have something I want to give them, and if you're going to see them soon, maybe

you can give this to them, so I borrowed 20 bucks - 20 dollars from them.

Will you see him soon?

Will you see her anytime soon?

And maybe you can give them this money that I owe them, for example.

Alright.
