4 1. "Will" to Express a Voluntary Action
"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something. Examples: I will send you the information when I get it. I will translate the , so Mr. Smith can read it. Will you help me move this heavy table? Will you make dinner? I will not do your homework for you. I won't do all the housework myself! A: I'm really hungry. B: I'll make some sandwiches. A: I'm so tired. I'm about to fall asleep. B: I'll get you some coffee. A: The phone is ringing. B: I'll get it.

5 2. "Will" to Express a Promise
"Will" is usually used in promises. Examples: I PROMISE… I will call you when I arrive If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has access to inexpensive health insurance. I will not tell him about the surprise party. I'll be careful. Don't worry! I won't tell anyone your secret.

6 3 "Be going to" to Express a Plan
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not. Examples: He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii. (…at least he intends to….) She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii. A: When are we going to meet each other tonight? B: We are going to meet at 6 PM. I'm going to be an actor when I grow up. (…that is, I want to…) Michelle is going to begin medical school next year. They are going to drive all the way to Alaska. Who are you going to invite to the party? A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake? B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.

7 4. "Will" or "Be Going to" to Express a Prediction
Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the future. Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future. In "prediction" sentences, the subject usually has little control over the future. In the following examples, there is no difference in meaning. Examples: The year 2222 will be a very interesting year. The year 2222 is going to be a very interesting year. John Smith will be the next President. John Smith is going to be the next President. The movie "Zenith" will win several Academy Awards. The movie "Zenith" is going to win several Academy Awards.

8 ATTENTION: No Future in Time Clauses
Like all future forms, the Simple Future cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Simple Future, Simple Present is used. Examples: When you will arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Not Correct When you arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Correct

13 Future Continuous I ‘ll be waiting for you……

14 I will be waiting Will I be waiting? I will not /won’t be waiting
ΚΑΤΑΦΑΣΗ ΕΡΩΤΗΣΗ ΑΡΝΗΣΗ I will be waiting Will I be waiting? I will not /won’t be waiting You will be waiting Will you be waiting ? You will not /won’t be waiting He will be waiting Will he be waiting? He will not /won’t be waiting She will be waiting Will she be waiting ? She will not /won’t be waiting It will be waiting Will it be waiting? It will not /won’t be waiting We will be waiting Will we be waiting ? We will not /won’t be waiting You will be waiting Will you be waiting ? You will not /won’t be waiting They will be waiting Will they be waiting? They will not /won’t be waiting

15 1. Interrupted Action in the Future
Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time. Examples: I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight. I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives. He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives. Notice in the examples above that the interruptions (marked in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.

16 2. Specific Time as an Interruption in the Future
In USE 1, described above, the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as an interruption. Examples: Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner. (I will be in the process of eating dinner…) At midnight tonight, we will still be driving through the desert. (We will be in the process of driving through the desert…)

17 3. Parallel Actions in the Future
When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel. Examples: I am going to be studying and he is going to be making dinner. Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time. While Ellen is reading, Tim will be watching television. Notice "is reading" because of the time clause containing "while."

18 REMEMBER: No Future in Time Clauses
Like all future tenses, the Future Continuous cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Continuous, Present Continuous is used. Examples: While I am going to be finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Not Correct While I am finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Correct

19 Simple Future / Future Continuous
1. Sandra: Where is Tim going to meet us? Marcus: He …………………….(wait) for us when our train arrives. I am sure he …………………....(stand) on the platform when we pull into the station. Sandra: And then what? Marcus: We …………..………(pick) Michele up at work and go out to dinner Ted: When we get to the party, Jerry ……………………(watch) TV, Sam ……………………….(make) drinks, Beth ……………………….(dance) by herself, and Thad ………………..……..(complain) about his day at work. Robin: Maybe, this time they won't be doing the same things. Ted: I am absolutely positive they ………………………..(do) the same things; they always do the same things Florence: Oh, look at that mountain of dirty dishes! Who ……………………(wash) all of those? Jack: I promise I …………………………..(do) them when I get home from work. Florence: Thanks. Jack: When you get home this evening, that mountain will be gone and nice stacks of sparkling clean dishes …………………………….(sit) in the cabinets.

21 FUTURE PERFECT

22 ΚΑΤΑΦΑΣΗ ΕΡΩΤΗΣΗ ΑΡΝΗΣΗ
I will have started Will I have started? I will not/ won’t have started You will have started Will you have started You won’t have started He will has started Will he have started? He won’t have stared She will has started Will she have started? She won’t have started It will has started Will it have started? It won’t have started We will have started Will we have started? We won’t have started You will have started Will you have started? You won’t have started They will have started. Will they have started? They won’t have started

23 1. Completed Action Before Something in the Future
The Future Perfect expresses the idea that something will occur before another action in the future OR that something will happen before a specific time in the future. Examples: By next November, I will have received my promotion. By the time he gets home, she will have cleaned the entire house. I won’t have finished this test by 3 o'clock. Will she have learned enough Chinese to communicate before she moves to Beijing? Sam is probably going to have completed the proposal by the time he leaves this afternoon. By the time I finish this course, I will have taken ten tests. How many countries will you have visited by the time you turn 50?  Notice in the examples above that the reference points (marked in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses

24 2. Duration Before Something in the Future
We use the Future Perfect to show that something will continue up until another action in the future. Examples: I will have been in London for six months by the time I leave. By Monday, Susan is going to have had my book for a week.

25 REMEMBER: No Future in Time Clauses
Like all future forms, the Future Perfect cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Perfect, Present Perfect is used. Examples: I am going to see a movie when I will have finished my homework. Not Correct I am going to see a movie when I have finished my homework. Correct

26 FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS

27 ΚΑΤΑΦΑΣΗ ΕΡΩΤΗΣΗ ΑΡΝΗΣΗ
ΚΑΤΑΦΑΣΗ ΕΡΩΤΗΣΗ ΑΡΝΗΣΗ I will have been fishing Will I have been fishing ? I won’t have been fishing You will have been fishing Will you have been fishing? You won’t have been fishing He will have been fishing Will he have been fishing? He won’t have been fishing She will have been fishing Will she have been fishing? She won’t have been fishing It will have been fishing Will it have been fishing? It won’t have been fishing We will have been fishing Will we have been fishing? We won’t have been fishing You will have been fishing Will you have been fishing? You won’t have been fishing They will have been fishing Will theyhave been fishing? They won’t have been fishing

28 1 Duration Before Something in the Future
We use the Future Perfect Continuous to show that something will continue up until a particular event or time in the future. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Friday" are all durations which can be used with the Future Perfect Continuous. Notice that this is related to the Present Perfect Continuous and the Past Perfect Continuous; however, with Future Perfect Continuous, the duration stops at or before a reference point in the future. Examples: They will have been talking for over an hour by the time Thomas arrives. She is going to have been working at that company for three years when it finally closes. James will have been teaching at the university for more than a year by the time he leaves for Asia. How long will you have been studying when you graduate? We are going to have been driving for over three days straight when we get to Anchorage. A: When you finish your English course, will you have been living in New Zealand for over a year? B: No, I will not have been living here that long.  Notice in the examples above that the reference points (marked in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because these future events are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.

29 2 Cause of Something in the Future
Using the Future Perfect Continuous before another action in the future is a good way to show cause and effect. Examples: Jason will be tired when he gets home because he will have been jogging for over an hour. Claudia's English will be perfect when she returns to Germany because she is going to have been studying English in the United States for over two years.

30 Future Continuous vs. Future Perfect Continuous
If you do not include a duration such as "for five minutes," "for two weeks" or "since Friday," many English speakers choose to use the Future Continuous rather than the Future Perfect Continuous. Be careful because this can change the meaning of the sentence. Future Continuous emphasizes interrupted actions, whereas Future Perfect Continuous emphasizes a duration of time before something in the future. Study the examples below to understand the difference. Examples: He will be tired because he will be exercising so hard. This sentence emphasizes that he will be tired because he will be exercising at that exact moment in the future. He will be tired because he will have been exercising so hard. This sentence emphasizes that he will be tired because he will have been exercising for a period of time. It is possible that he will still be exercising at that moment OR that he will just have finished.

31 REMEMBER No Future in Time Clauses
Like all future forms, the Future Perfect Continuous cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Perfect Continuous, Present Perfect Continuous is used. Examples: You won't get a promotion until you will have been working here as long as Tim. Not Correct You won't get a promotion until you have been working here as long as Tim. Correct

32 Future Perfect / Future Perfect Continuous
