Playing at the Park
Every weekend, if the weather is nice, I ❶(will spend / spend) time outside with my
children. One of their favorite things to do is to go to a nearby park. If we ride our bikes to
the park, it ❷(takes / will take) about 10 minutes. If there ❸(is / will be) a lot of traffic,
it takes a little longer.

play on. Jeffrey likes the climbing walls, but if he ❹(climbs / will climb) too high, I start to

play on the seesaw. On the way to the park, she almost always asks me, “Mom, if there
❻(is / will be) no one for me to play with, ❼( do / will ) you go on the seesaw with me?”

If she ❽ (finds / will find) someone to play with at the park, she ❾(will spend / spends)
the entire time on the seesaw. Sometimes I talk to the other parents who are there. After
an hour or so, the kids and I ride our bikes back home. On the way, I tell them, “If the
weather is nice next weekend, we ❿(come / will come) back.”
