FUTURE TENSE In Spanish we have just one kind of future tense but in English they have several forms to talk about the future. (if it is something planned or not or if it is a near or a far away future) To talk about the future you have to use these forms: . – BE GOING TO – WILL – PRESENT SIMPLE – PRESENT CONTINOUS

BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE • • I’m going to go the gym this year She’s going to give up smoking My family are going to visit me on summer Peter and Jane are going to have a baby Future plans or intentions

WILL • • I will get married at the age of 30 People will fly in the year 2060 You will meet your future wife in the cinema This summer will be very hot Future facts (long future facts)

BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE • As you can see you have the verb “BE” so it is clear that you have to conjugate it. (And you all already know how to do it) • You have to be aware because you need to add a verb in the infinitive form, this is the main verb , the verb you are going to use in the future form. I’m going to see the doctor next Monday She is not going to pass the exam, she hasn’t studied at all What are you going to do next Friday? Is your brother going to come to the party? No, he isn’t *

WILL • It is very easy to conjugate because it acts as a modal verb. I mean it is “sacred/untouchable”, it can not be changed. It must be followed (ALWAYS!!if not it doesn’t have any sense) by an INFINITIVE form • Its negative form is WON’T and it follows the same rules She will pass the exam, I promise If I win the lottery I will travel to New York Will you see Peter at the match?
