Hi , a review of
Future tenses
OK when do we use will
I will go
I will buy
you use this
to talk about decisions that you make at the moment of speaking
something you hadn't thought about and then you suddenly decide
as a contrast you use going to
to talk
about things that you had thought about before
so it's not a decision at the moment of speaking
let me give you an example to make these easier
you are in the supermarket you have
a list of things : bread , milk and sugar OK
you´re going to buy bread you´re going to buy milk
you´re going to buy sugar it´s written on your list , it´s a plan
it´s something you thought about
then you see the chocolate and you say : UUUUUUUUh , yeeees !
( decision at the moment of speaking ) I will buy some chocolate
OK that´s the idea of WILL
the waiter to comes up to in the restaurant : What would you like?
Um , um , um ... decision :
I will have , the fish OK
that´s WILL and going to
you also
use
a WILL to
talk about predictions
without evidence
guesses
imaginings for the future
whereas going to
you use to talk about predictions with evidence
the sky is very grey
it´s going to rain grey sky , evidence
what weather will there be tomorrow?
will just prediction do you know do you know the answer OK
so that´s will are going to
we can use the present continuous
next month
I am buying a new car OK
this is a plan like going to but more fixted
next month I´m going to visit Germany
I have the ticket
uh ...
I´m going
to ...
see a concert
next week I have the tickets it´s more than a plan
OK you've taken things , you've taken action about it OK
we can use the present simple
this we normally use for timetables
the bus leaves at three pm
my plane takes off at
five o'clock tomorrow
I arrive at
three pm on Sunday
this is to do with timetables and schedules
so perhaps it's a plan that´s even more fixed than the present continuous
we can use the future continuous will be doing
I will be doing
this talks about something
that was happening
before
will be happening at
and probably will continue happening
at a point in the future so
now it's half past eight
at half past ten I will be giving class
before that I will be giving class
at that moment I will be giving class and after that I will be giving class
we can talk in the future perfect
I will have done
this is something that happened before
another point in the future so
let me give you an example
tomorrow is a point in the future
before tomorrow
I will have finished this work
so this work ... finished
before tomorrow
I will have finished this work
something that happens
before another point
in the future OK so
there you go a review of the future tenses I was just thinking in
the future perfect continuous I will have been working
this normally says how long something
will have been happening
at a point in the future so
by the end of this year I will have been teaching
for twenty years
how long something will have been happening the period of time
at a point in the future
