    3rd E-BOOK

    Hi! Here you have the material to continue this important language to your professional develop as TSU. We want you to enjoy your e-book and obtain the most out of your dedication to learn another language. Your e-book is another useful tool that wills strength the language competence level required worldwide. This specific e-book is about the future tense in the English language.

    FUTURE USING GOING TO


    We say something is going to happen when it has already been planned. For example: Q) Are you going to fly to Germany? A) No, we're going to drive. We also use it to show something has already been decided. For example: "We're going to buy a new car next year." We also use going to when we can see something is about to happen. For example:

    "Look at that cloud. I think it's going to rain."

    "Watch out! He's going to crash into that tree!" You can also use going to, to predict the future based upon the evidence now. For example:"It looks as though Manchester United is going to win the European cup. "I think my friend Louise is going to have a baby." Note: "I'm going to Germany." isn't really the future tense. You would have to say "I'm going to go to Germany."

    FUTURE USING SHALL/WILL


    When we give information about the future or predict future events that are not certain we usually use shall/will. For example: Q) Who do you think will win the election?" A) "I'm not sure but I think the current party will win." We can also use shall/will to make promises for the future. When leaving work I would say - "Goodnight, I'll (I will) see you tomorrow." Shall/Will is often used when we just decide to do something. For example:

    The phone is ringing - If I decide to answer the phone I would say - "I'll (I will) get it." It can also be used in formal situations to express planned events and is preferred in formal written English. For example: The party will start at 10.00pm.

    FUTURE VS PRESENT CONTINOUS


    "I am going to wear a dress" and "I am wearing a dress"?

    In this example of sentences we can compare both situations. First we have a sentence in future where we have a plan that we are sure to do. "I am going to wear a dress" Then we have a sentence in simple present where we are saying something that is happening at this specific moment. "I am wearing a dress".
