Naša današnja tema je: FUTURE SIMPLE TENSE.

Da se podsetimo:
Future Simple Tense gradi na DVA NAČINA:
1. WILL + INFINITIV GLAGOLA (za sva lica):
Potvrdni oblik: He will come tomorrow.
Upitni oblik: Will he come tomorrow.
Odrični oblik: He will not (won't) come tomorrow.

2. uz pomoć TO BE GOING TO + INFINITIV GLAGOLA: (gde TO BE ide u Present Simple:


am/are/is going to + INFINITIV GLAGOLA)
Potvrdni oblik: He is going to come tomorrow.
Upitni oblik: Is he going to come tomorrow.
Odrični oblik: He is not going to come tomorrow.

Ovo je lako, ali ključna stvar je da naučimo kada treba koristiti prvu, a kada drugu opciju.
I to je prilično lako. Najpre treba znati kada uopšte koristimo Future Simple. Odgovor je:
uglavnom u ČETRI KLASIČNE SITUACIJE:
1. kada izražavamo spremnost/volju da nešto uradimo (Ja ću se javiti na telefon)
2. kada nekome dajemo obećanje da ćemo nešto uraditi u budućnosti (Doći ću, obećavam)
2. kada govorimo o svojim budućim planovima (Kad porastem, biću doktor) i
3. kada nešto predviđamo (Bajden će da pobedi na izborima)

U prva dva slučaja (spremnost/obećanje) KORISTIMO WILL+GLAGOL U INFINITIVU:


I'll answer the phone. ili I promise I'll come.

Međutim, kada govorimo o budućim planovima KORISTIMO TO BE GOING TO: When I


grow up, I'm going to be a doctor.

U slučaju kad dajemo predviđanja, možemo korisiti bilo koju opciju, i WILL+INF. Ili
TO BE GOING TO.

Evo objašnjenja i na engleskom:
