-== Future Time Expressions ==
+. '''Translate the following sentences into Haitian:'''
-To talk about the future in Haitian, you can use time expressions such as "demain" (tomorrow), "aprèmidi" (afternoon), "swa" (evening), "nan lannwit" (at night), "pita" (later), and "apre" (after). Here are some examples:

This event is celebrated every year on January 1st as Independence Day.
+. She will visit her grandmother.
-Another interesting aspect of Haitian culture is its music. Haitian music is a rich blend of African, French, Spanish, and Caribbean influences, and is known for its complex rhythms and powerful lyrics.
