4. 4 The future - 1 In English, several different tenses are used to talk about the future. 1. Present Simple We use the present simple for scheduled events with a future meaning:  for timetables (planes, buses etc. leaving and arriving): My plane leaves Jakarta on Tuesday at 07.05.

5. 5 The future - 2 For programmes (when a conference, a course, a football match, a film etc. begins and ends): The conference starts on Wednesday at 9.30. For people if their plans are fixed by a timetable: The main speaker arrives on Tuesday afternoon.

6. 6 The future - 3 2. Present Continuous We use the present continuous:  For plans which have already been arranged: People are travelling from all over the world. 3. Will-future In formal English, shall is occasionally used with I / we instead of will.

7. 7 The future - 4 We use will: For decisions made at the moment of speaking: I’ll have breakfast in my room. For anything which is uncertain, especially with probably, maybe, I think, I expect and I hope: I probably won’t be back in time. I think I’ll get a meal in town.

8. 8 The future - 5 For situations that we predict will happen but which are not definitely decided or arranged: In 100 years the world will be a very different place. There’ll be millions more people but there won’t be as much oil available for energy. (= nobody knows definitely what the world will be like in 100 years)

9. 9 The future - 6 » Compare: I’m taking my History exam again tomorrow. (arranged) I’ll get higher marks this time. (not something which is arranged or decided in advance – a hopeful prediction) for something in the future which doesn’t depend on a decision by the speaker: I’ll be 23 on my next birthday. (= I can’t change this, it will just happen)
