In German, you can just use the present tense and imply the future whenever you are talking about something that is imminent (as in this case) or when you already mention the time in the sentence and the action is already in the planning stage, e. g. Morgen gehe ich zum Frisör. - Tomorrow I'll go to the hairdresser. Dieses Jahr fliegen wir nach Mallorca. - This year we'll fly to Mallorca [for a holiday]. This is the implied future.

But I have a question: In the lesson notes the last line is translated as I'll make you..., which is future tense. However, in German the last line is written without using werden. Why then is the translation "I will make"? How do you know when to use werden and when it can be omitted? On work days, I usually don't eat breakfast before going to work; instead I will drink two to three cups of coffee in the morning and will sometimes have a banana and maybe a yogurt smoothie or a Pop Tart. On Saturdays I'll have cereal with non-fat milk and a banana. On Sundays, I eat a big breakfast consisting of an omlette, or fried eggs, with fried potatoes, and toast or butter milk pancakes with maple syrup. And of course I'll drink coffee.

Note however that "Eier" doesn't require an article, it's indefinite. Like in English, you wouldn't say "I eat the eggs" but simply "I eat eggs". So that's "Ich esse Eier und Brötchen. Ich trinke Milch." If you're not sure how to type the Umlaut characters ä, ö and ü, there's a thread in the forum explaining how to do it on a regular American keyboard.

Chuck says things the way I would, but I'm trying to make my pronunciation closer to Judith's. Chuck is proof that even if my pronunciation isn't with a German accent, I can one day be understood. In fact, I asked my mom today "Was gibt es zum Frühstück?" and she understood me. :grin: Personally, I find it very helpful that we have Judith (a native speaker) and Chuck (an American and native English speaker).
