उत्तर
The cartoon shows two different ways of talking about the future:
- On December 26, the boy says, “I think I’ll buy him a Hindi dictionary.”
Here, will is used because he is thinking about or deciding what to buy. - On January 1, he says, “I’m giving him a dictionary.”
Here, the present continuous is used because the plan has already been decided and arranged.
