Hi, guys! Welcome to class 33!

In this lesson we’re going to revise different ways to talk about the future in English. By the
end of the lesson, you will have been practising these forms a bit and also you will have
imagined what your life will be like in some years now. Please, remember I’ll be there if you
need any help. Will you come along?

(Sorry guys, it seems today I can’t help using the future forms!)

Estimated time: 1 hour

Life's ambitions
What will the future bring and when?
We never know what will happen in the future but we can have plans. We can
imagine ourselves in the future looking back at our achievements.

This is how teenager Susan imagines her life:

"By the time I'm 21 I'll have graduated from university. I'll have got
married and had two children by the time I'm 30 and by 50 I'll have made my
fortune from writing. By age 60 I'll have retired to a comfortable cottage in the
countryside."

Susan imagines different times in her life and looks back from those
times at her life. To do this she uses the future perfect form.

We use this form whenever we make predictions about something that is

completed before a particular time.

 By the time you finish your shower I'll have finished my essay so we can go
straight out.
 Next month we'll have known each other for ten years.
 This time next year I'll have completed my course so we can go travelling
then.
 Time phrases
The future perfect looks back from a particular time so it's common to have
time phrases in a future perfect sentence.

by + time/date/occasion:

 By 2020 this city wlll have doubled in size.

 We'll have finished the building work by next month.
 Will you have finished painting the bathroom by Christmas?

in + month/year/period of time:

 In June I'll have been out of work for three years.

 In 2020 we'll have been in this house for seven years.
 In 3 years we'll have been together for a decade

When talking about a period of time rather than a specific time you can also
use (time period) from now or in (time period's) time:

 Three years from now we'll have been together for a decade.

 In three years' time we'll have been together for a decade.

Making the future perfect

The structure of the future perfect is:

subject + 'll/will/won't + 've/have + past participle
