When we invite someone to do something in the future, we often use “Will you...?”. It’s a polite way to ask for company, help, or a favor. In this lesson, we focus on asking about future plans and making friendly invitations.

Will you help me carry the bags?

Will you go shopping with me tomorrow?
-
Will we have time to go to the supermarket today?

Title: A Friendly Invitation
Yesterday, Maria didn’t feel like going to the supermarket alone. She had a long day at work, and she still needed to buy food for the week. So she called her friend, Josh.
“Will you go grocery shopping with me later?” she asked.
Josh was at home watching TV, but he wasn’t busy. “Sure, I will,” he said. “I need to buy a few things too.”
