REVIEW OF TENSES: FUTURE CONTINUOUS AND FUTURE WITH WILL
(SB p.p. 131-132 WB p.p. 127-131)
Future with going to
- To make a verb form with “be going to”, you first put “be” into the correct form to agree with the subject, and then add “going to” + the simple form of the verb.
- Be going to” is usually used when something is already planned or definite. Look at the difference between these sentences: I'll make the supper tonight.
(Making a decision/volunteering to do something.)
I'm going to make the supper every Wednesday.
(This is already planned and organized.)
Future with will
- “Will”, like all modal verbs in English, does not change its form, and it is followed by the simple form of the main verb. “Will” is NOT usually used in first person questions. Note also that will is often shortened to ’ll.
- “Will” is usually used in three situations:
Ex:“Will someone open the window for me?”
“I'll do it!”
2.- Deciding to do something
Ex: “I've made up my mind. I'll go to London for my vacation.”
3.- Forcing someone to do something
Ex: “Dad, I don't want to clean my room!”
“You'll do it, and you'll do it NOW!”
- “Will” is NOT usually used for fixed plans or scheduled events
