Making resolutions

What was your New Year's resolution this year? Let us take a guess. I will study every day. I will eat healthily and avoid junk food. I will complete my homework on time. [ihc-hide-content ihc_mb_type="show" ihc_mb_who="4" ihc_mb_template="3"] I will reduce my screen time. I will spend some more time with my family. I will get an internship this summer. I will not procrastinate. I will not keep scrolling on Instagram; The list can be never-ending. When you make a resolution, you make a promise to yourself. A promise to become the best version of yourself. A promise to make something better and a promise to do something that is needed. When we make a resolution, we often promise ourselves to do something because it is directly related to a good result. How? Let’s see. I will study every day - so that I score well in my exams. I will eat healthily and avoid junk food - so that I stay healthy. I will complete my homework on time - so that I avoid unnecessary stress and manage my time well. I will reduce my screen time - so that I do not strain my eyes and have a headache. I will complete all my work on time - so that I can spend time doing things I love. I will get an internship this summer - so that I can earn some extra pocket money. I will not procrastinate - so that I get things done on time. I will not keep scrolling on Instagram - so that I can focus on things that need my immediate attention. Do you see that? The relationship is very simple. Making promises is directly proportional to achieving the desired outcome. But we want you to focus on the bolded parts of the sentences below. Set A I will study every day. I will eat healthily and avoid junk food. I will complete my homework on time. I will reduce my screen time. I will spend some more time with my family. I will get an internship this summer. I will not procrastinate. I will not keep scrolling on Instagram Now, compare these sentences to the next set of sentences mentioned below. Set B I try to study every day. I try to eat healthily and avoid junk food. I try to complete my homework on time. I try to reduce my screen time. I try to spend some more time with my family. I try to get an internship this summer. I try not to procrastinate. I try not to keep scrolling on Instagram. What do you think is the difference? The difference is very simple. In Set A - the sentences highlight something that you are planning to do in the future. While in Set B - the sentences are highlighting a fact or a behaviour that you are practising currently. Here is where we would like to introduce you to two types of sentences - Simple future tense and simple present tense. Simple future tense - This type of sentence (like in Set A) tells an action that is going to happen in the future. Simple present tense - This type of sentence (like in Set B) tells an action that is happening in the present day. Do you see the contrast between the two sets for example set A and set B of sentences? The initial set of sentences is in the simple future tense. The subsequent set indicates a reality or a propensity and is written in the simple present tense. Key takeaways A firm decision to do or not something is called a resolution. In simple future tense, we use shall and will.
