Predict: The bus usually arrives between 8:05 and 8:10 AM. I will go to the bus stop at 8:00 AM and get on the bus without rushing. I will catch the bus easily every day.
Practice: Eric practices being ready to leave the house a few minutes before 8:00 AM so he is there in time to catch the bus.
Plan B: If the bus comes too early or I am running late, Greg or Mike will give me a ride to school. One of them is at the house every morning. I will get to school on time.
