Hi, everybody.
I'm Esther.
For this checkup let's take a look at the will usage for the future simple tense.
The first example says, ‘Jen and Paul [blank] home soon’
with the verb ‘go’.
Remember, when using ‘will’ for the future simple tense,
it doesn't matter what the subject is.
We say ‘will’ and then the base verb.
So here we can say, ‘Jen and Paul’ or ‘They will go home soon’.
‘I [blank] a scientist after I graduate.’
Try filling in the blank with ‘be’.
Again, we simply say ‘will be’.
‘I will be a scientist after I graduate.’
Now try this one, ‘We [blank] that because it smells bad.’
I want you to use the negative form with the verb ‘eat’.
Here we say, ‘will not eat’ or remember we can use the contraction ‘won't’.
‘We will not eat that’ or ‘We won't eat that because it smells bad’.
Now look for the mistake in this sentence.
‘I will eat a pizza for lunch.’
Remember, we need the base form of the verb.
‘I will eat a pizza for lunch.’
‘Angie and I will playing a game.’
Again we need the base form of the verb.
Angie and I will play a game.’
And finally, ‘Will she be cook dinner?’
This is a question.
However we need to say, ‘Will she cook dinner.’
We do not need a ‘be’ verb here.
Let's move on.
Let's practice the ‘be going to’ usage of the future simple tense.
‘We [blank] going to _blank_ soccer.’
I want you to use the verb ‘watch’.
Remember, for ‘be going to’ in the future simple tense,
we start with the subject and then the ‘be’ verb.
The subject here is ‘we’.
So we need the ‘be’ verb – ‘are’.
‘We are going to’ and then the base verb ‘watch’.
‘We are going to watch soccer.’
‘I [blank] going to [blank].’
The verb is ‘talk’.
And I want you to use the negative form.
In this case, the subject is ‘I’.
And so I use the ‘be’ verb – ‘am’.
‘I am’ and then we need ‘not’.
‘I am not going to’
Then the base verb ‘talk’.
‘Why [blank] you going to [blank]?’
The verb here is ‘go’.
In a question, especially a ‘WH’ question, we start with the ‘WH’ word,
and then the ‘be’ verb.
‘are’ is the correct ‘be’ verb because the subject is ‘you’.
Then we have ‘going to’.
And again, the base form of the verb.
‘Why are you going to go?’
Now try to find the mistake in the next sentence.
‘You are going to studying at home.’
Can you find the mistake?
‘You are going to’ that's correct.
But we need the base form of the verb.
‘You are going to study at home.’
‘You will be going to learn English.’
‘You will be going’
That sounds a little strange.
Remember, we don't need the ‘will’ here.
We're using ‘be going to’ and we need to change the ‘be’ verb to match the subject.
‘You are going to learn English’.
Or remember, you can also say, ‘You will learn English.
and finally ‘Is he going to do play soccer.’
uh-oh We have two verbs here.
‘Is he going to’ - that's correct.
But we have ‘do’ and ‘play’.
We don't need both, so we say, ‘Is he going to play soccer?’
Great job everybody.
Let's move on.
Great job, everyone.
You now have a better understanding of the future simple tense.
There's still a lot of practice you need to do because this tense is so important.
Keep studying and I'll see you in the next video.
