Rolling on to the year ahead; 2024!

What do you reckon the New Year has in store for us? What does it hold? Today we’re going to look forward and talk about 2024 and share our predictions.

Reminder - How to make predictions?

Use will or ‘ll for general predictions / feelings you have about the future. These are often based on personal opinion/feelings/faith rather than evidence.
You can moderate will with adverbs and adverbial expressions like I will probably…/It will most likely..

Use “going to” if you think there is more evidence in support of your prediction. Using “going to” makes it sound more universally likely.

Use “I hope” for hopes/desires for future events.
