WILL
Concept
"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the
speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's
complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or
volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to
voluntarily do something.

WILL
Concept
"Will" is an auxiliary modal. It means that it combines with the infinitive of non-modal
verbs (in many cases to express the future). "Will" is not variable. It does not change
with different people. It has a contracted form, which is used in less formal written texts
and in spoken English:
