第二十七天

会， be going to

(now that we've had a chance to recover from 会，be able to...)

Guardian:
不行，赵云澜他不会同意的 (That's no good, Zhao Yunlan will not agree.)
我就知道你会这么说的 (I knew you would say that)
我杀敌的时候会害怕。(I'm going to be afraid when I kill the enemy [I think this is a common usage that feels unintuitive to me, using 会=future where English would use the habitual present tense, I'm afraid when I... . Corrections please as needed.)

My practice:
我困得不行，我会一秒之后睡觉。(so sleepy I had to edit this phrase to get it to make any sense, in fact)
他已经请假了，明天不会上班。

(Also don't miss the 的得地 quiz with Zhao Yunlan in the previous post!)

I think this is a common usage that feels unintuitive to me, using 会=future where English would use the habitual present tense

I have no insight into the Chinese use, but you can do something similar in English - "will" future can be habitual, too: "Every time I kill an enemy, I'll be afraid" ...

Ooh, yes. For another variation on the English: "Whenever I kill an enemy, I get/become afraid“?

get/become are technically present tense, but they feel like they are looking forward into the future to me, like 会

"will" future can be habitual, too: "Every time I kill an enemy, I'll be afraid"
That's a good point. I'm not sure how standard it is but it sits right in my brain.
