2. Predictions with will.
We use will for predictions about the future which we believe to be true but can’t prove.
Examples:
My parents will probably buy me a new car when I star college.
I will end the school year with an 8.5 in my general average.
3. Predictions with future continuous
We use future continuous (will / won’t + be + verb + ing form) > I will be earning —> for predictions
about habits and actions in progress in the future.
Examples:
I will be studying french this summer.
My sister will be working during holiday season.
4. Predictions with may (not), might (not), and could + well.
May, might and could are used to express future possibility that is less certain than will or the future
continuous.
Examples:
My parents may continue giving me an allowance when I’m 18 years old.
I might have a luxury car when I finish college.
My friends could be earning a good salary when we graduate.
The predictions sounds more certain if well is added after may, might and could.

My friends could well be earning a good salary when we graduate.

mention when). These can be:
