Future Forms

Sue is talking to Mark… We use WILL Let’s have a party! Great idea. I will invite lots of people. when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker has not decided before. The party is a new idea. SUE MARK

Later that day, Mark meets Thiago. We use GOING Sue and I decided to have TO when we invite lots of people. a party. We’re going to already decided to do something. Mark had already decided to invite lots of people before he spoke to Thiago. MARK THIAGO

When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will` * The President will serve for four years. WILL * The boss won't be very happy. * I'm certain he'll do a good job. * I'm sure you'll like her. I’ll serve for 4 years.

If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as probably, possibly, I think, I hope. W * I'll possibly not get back in time. * She'll probably be a great success. * I hope you'll visit me one day. * I think we'll get on well. W I L L

Going to If you are making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use 'going to'. * Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day. * Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours. * The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight. * Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.

Present Continuous for the FUTURE We use the present continuous to talk about things that we have already arranged to do and has already time or day set. * I've got my ticket. I'm leaving on Thursday. * I'm seeing Julie at 5 and then I'm having dinner with Simon. * He's picking me up at the airport. • The company is giving us a bonus for Christmas.

We can also use t he presen continuo t us to talk about these.

In many situations when we talk about future plans we can use either the present continuous or the 'going to' future. However, when we use the present continuous, there is more of a suggestion that an arrangement has already been made and the time has already been set. I'm going to see him. (I still don’t know when) I'm seeing him. ( I already know when)

The simple present is used when a future event is part of a programme or time -table. Notice the difference between: We're having a meeting next Monday. We have a meeting next Monday. (we have a meeting every Monday, it's on the timetable. )

Easier now ?
