Table of contents

1. Future Forms

There are some different ways to talk about future events in English. Using each form depends on what we mean: it is not the same to make a request or to make an arrangement. It is not the same to make a prediction or to talk about a planned event.

1.1. Future Simple ( WILL FORMS )

We use will:

 

  • to make predictions or give opinions about the future.

He'll probably go to Australia this summer

You won't like it there.

  • to express promises and requests.

I will always love you

Will you help me with my homework?

  • to express spontaneous decisions made at the moment of speaking.

I think I'll leave the towel. I can use a T-shirt if necessary.

The window is open. Don't worry, I'll close it.

1.2. Future with GOING TO

We use going to

  • to talk about our plans and intentions

I'm going to be an astronaut. I've already passed my exams

I'm going to see Jeff tonight.

  • To make predictions based on evidence at the time of speaking

It's going to be a hard exam

Listen to the wind. There is going to be a storm.

  • We use the Present Continuous to talk about short term plans or arrangements. We often mention a specific time or place.

We are celebrating my mum's birthday this weekend

I am visiting my grandparents tomorrow.

1.3. Future Continuous

We use the future continuous to refer to future actions which:
  • take place at a specific period of time in the future.

I can't go out at seven. I'll be finishing my homework

  • have already been planned.

This time next week I'll be taking a plane to Rome.

1.4. Future Perfect

We use the future perfect:

  • to talk about something that will be completed by a specific moment in the future. We usually use by to explain when the specific moment in the future will be.

By the end of next year, Holly will have made three space flights

Will you have finished your studies by the end of 2014?
