 Reading comprehension and activities.
Read the following article. Pay special attention to future tense verbs
nd
The 2 group is engaged now and is planning their graduation party. They need a lot of time to plan.
They´re going to graduate from college next year and the graduation party will take place a year. They will
need time to choose a photographer, invitations, a place for the party, cake, entertainment, and more. The
graduation party is going to be very expensive. They will need to rent a room reception, pay the dinner and the
band. They are going to invite about 300 people, including many friends and relatives from out of town. They
are going to pay for the tickets for their grandparents and parents. It is going to take a lot of time and energy to
plan for the graduation party.
Before their graduation, they will go to stores and select a special suit; they are going to buy exactly
what they want. They will send out their invitations. After the party, they are going to send thank-you cards to
all the guests.
Who is going to pay for all this? Before they graduate, the students will work and save money for
their dream graduation party. But their parents are going to help too. Like many students, they will have credit
card debt for years after the graduation party. This is in addition to college debt.

Future tense with: going to and will

Fill in this table the according to graduation Explanation
party reading. Remember
going to We use is /am/are + going to + the base form verb for
Subject + going to + verb + complement the future tense.
*We can make a contraction with the subject pronouns
and is, am, are.
Pronunciation Notes:
1. In informal speech, going to before another verb
often sounds like “gonna”. We don´t write “gonna”.
2. We only pronounce “gonna” before a verb. We don´t
pronounce “gonna” in the following sentence: They are
going to Mexico city.
will Use will + the base form verb for the future tense. Will
Subject + will + verb + complement doesn´t have an –s form.
*Put not after will to form the negative. The contraction
for will not is won´t.
*You can put and adverb (always, never, probably,
even) between Will and the main verb. E.g: I will
always help you. She will never leave him.
NOTE. Listen and practice to your teacher pronounce
or in the website.
