ESO 3 FUTURE TENSES

There are different ways to approach the future in English.


Will + infinitive

We use will to:

• Talk about spontaneous decisions (decision made at the moment of speaking).

                  Example: I'm tires. I'll go to bed.

• Offer yourself to do something.

                  Example:  Mary: It's too hot in here, don't you think?                                                      Jane: I'll open the window.

• Make predictions about the future based on your opinion.

                   Example:  I think it will snow a lot this winter.



Be going to + infinitive

• We use 'be going to' to:

•  Talk about a future intention when a decision has already been made (something you have previously thought about).
Example: Next year I'm going to study at university. 

 REMEMBER:  We usually omit the verb 'to go' in sentences with going to.

Example: Next year I'm going to university.(not: I'm going to go to university)

• Make predictions about the future when there is evidence that something is going to happen.

Example: You are not studying at all. You are going to fail the test tomorrow.

Present simple

We use the Present simple to talk about schedules.
 
             Example: My flight to Barcelona leaves at 7.30 tomorrow morning.


Present continuous


We use the Present continuous to talk about future arrangements (there has been some kind of preparation or organisation).

                     Example: I have already bought a ticket. I'm leaving next Friday.
