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.

Let's do some exercises now.

PRESENT SIMPLE VS PRESENT CONTINUOUS REVISION, by rozianne

ESO2 OPTATIVA PRESENT SIMPLE VS. PRESENT CONTINUOUS

As you have seen this morning, there is a presentation to revise the present simple and another one to revise the present continuous. If you use them separately it's quite easy to know how to use them, but what happens when we mix them? How do you know which one to use?

Get in pairs and prepare a presentation to teach in class the difference between the present simple and the present continuous. I'm sure you will find some examples in www.slideshare.com.

Oh, come on! Don't complain! I know it's difficult, but try to be original.

ESO2 PRESENT SIMPLE

So, to talk about daily routines we have to use the present simple. Do you all remember how to use it?
Have a look at this presentation. I think it's really good and, most importantly, really useful.
