One of English textbooks for Polish high school students instructs them to:
use "will" when referring to a future fact
e.g. Anna will be 18 next week.
Then there is an exercise in which students are supposed to correct the mistakes. One of the sentences is:
"Next year February will have 29 days". The teacher said it is wrong, and it should be:
"Next year February has 29 days".
Does the original sentence really need correcting? Because I understood it as a future fact, just as in the example with birthday.
