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
