Hello everyone! ![]()
In a video a lady talks about how she often calls upon her grandparents (I assume they have passed on) for help. And she says something like "usually I get a message from them that helps me".
But she says it like this: "I look up and say 'Help me!' and usually their messages will come through."
Could someone help me please if the future tense means Simple Present here? That's what I figured. Or does the future tense have some "nuance meaning" to it here?
Thank you for any replies in advance! ![]()

Both. The future tense is used for present time here. The nuance is that it's used to indicate typical behavior.
