Future Forms

The future, like the past and present, has four different forms: Simple Future, Future Continuous, Future Perfect, and Future Perfect Continuous.

-Before starting to explain the topic, this is a typical conversation between people, and everyday we use future forms.



We use Future forms:


For timetables:  Use the simple present to talk about timetables.                                                                                                    Example: The plane departs at 2:30 from Rio.                                                                                                            
For decisions, plans and intentions:                                                                                                    --- Use will to talk a decision made at the time of speaking (including offers and promises).                                                                                                                                                                
 -Use going to to talk about a planor intention (maybe details haven t been decided yet).           
 Example: I m going to work in finance. 




  -  Use the present continuous to talk about a future arrangement (details such as time and place have been decided).                                                                                                                                                   Example: I’m playing tennis at 4:30 with Zara                                                                                                                      
For predictions:  

 -Use will to make predictions based on what you know or believed. We often use words like think, hope, believe, with will in this case.                                                                                               
  Example: I think Mike will be a good manager                                                                                                           
- Use the future continuous to talk about something that will be in progress at a definite time in the future.                                                                                                                                                                          Example: This time next year I ll be living in France                                                                                                    
-Use the future continuous to ask about someone’s plans.                                                                                      Example: Will you be working late tonight?                              

Is important to know that
     Going to' or '-ing' are often both correct for planed events. 'Going to' should be used for distant future intentions

Example: He's going to study Law
