I tend to do things last minute so I'm the type of person to pack the night before and I'll usually book the flights maybe a couple of days before the holiday as well.
Generally I really like kind of active adventurous holidays so I have to make sure there are lots of things to do.

Hello and welcome to Learning English Grammar.
I'm Pippa.
And I'm Phil.

We'll learn how to use the phrase tend to and the modal verbs will and might to talk about general behaviour.
OK, so we probably know how to use will to talk about the future.
but you may not have heard it used like this.
