WILL BE LIKELY TO WILL BE ABLE TO FUTURE CONTINUOUS FUTURE PERFECT

2 1) PRESENT CONTINUOUS Use: ARRANGEMENTS
We usually use the present continuous when the activity has been arranged. The arrangement usually involves more than one person and a fixed place and time. -I’m meeting Emma after school. (I have talked to her and organised the time to meet.) -I’m going to the dentist’s this afternoon. -I’m visiting my friend tomorrow. -They are coming to our house on Saturday. -What are you doing tonight? -My brother is playing football with his friends tonight. -I’m going to the cinema with my father at the weekend. -Are you having a party for your birthday?

3 2) Present simple EVENTS ON A TIMETABLE/ SCHEDULE
The present simple is used to refer to events in the future which are certain because they are facts, or because there is a clear or fixed schedule or timetable: -Her birthday falls on a Friday next year. (a known fact about the future) -The train arrives at  (a timetable) -What time does their flight to Seoul leave? (a schedule) -What time does the movie start tonight? -What time do you finish work tomorrow? -What time does the store open tomorrow? -Final exams start next week. -The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. -The Monet exhibit closes on Sunday. -The sale ends next week.

4 3) Be going to Uses: PLANS/INTENTIONS
-I am going to travel to Asia next month. I’ve already bought the tickets. -He is going to have dinner at a beautiful restaurant. He’s already booked a table. DECISIONS MADE BEFORE SPEAKING -I'm going to accept the job offer. -I’m going to move to Australia. -I’m going to study Law after graduating from high school. -I’m going to buy a new car next week. PREDICTIONS BASED ON PRESENT EVIDENCE OR RELIABLE INFORMATION -The sky is very black. It's going to snow. (logical consequence) -It's 8.30! You're going to miss your train! -I crashed the company car. My boss isn't going to be very happy! -These figures are really bad. The company is going to go bankrupt. -Look out! That cup is going to fall off. COMMANDS/ ORDERS -I’m telling you, you’re going to do it. You don’t have a choice.

6 4) WILL Uses: Predictions WITHOUT present evidence. When we think or believe something about the future. -Argentina will win the match. -When I go and see Marie, I think I’ll take her some flowers. -What will you do with that soup? Will you just put it in the fridge or will you freeze it? -I think I’ll have some orange juice, actually. Instant decisions made at the time of speaking. (spontaneously) -I’m hungry. I will eat a sandwich. -A: would you like to come to my house for dinner? B: absolutely! I will buy ice cream! To make an offer, a promise or a threat. -I'll give you a discount if you buy it right now. (CONDITIONAL TYPE1) -I promise I will behave next time. -I'll take you to the movies if you'd like.

7 Will vs. Going To If someone asks: "Are you busy this evening?" -If I answer: "Yes, I'm going to have dinner with some friends." I use going to because it is a plan I made earlier (before I was asked the question). OR I may answer: “I’m having dinner with some friends” as it’s an arrangement. In this case we cannot use Will. -If I haven't made plans, then you can say either: "I will probably watch TV."

8 5)BE LIKELY TO 6) WILL BE ABLE TO Use:
USED TO TALK ABOUT PROBABLE EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. -It's likely to rain tomorrow. = It is probably going to rain tomorrow. -Is Bob likely to come? = Is it probable that Bob will come? -Zoe’s not likely to arrive before eight o’clock. She doesn’t finish work till seven. In the negative form, this expression has two possible constructions: It isn't likely to rain. It probably won't rain. or It's unlikely to rain. 6) WILL BE ABLE TO USED TO TALK ABOUT FUTURE ABILITY. -You won’t be able to get any reception on your mobile phone in the mountains. -You will be able to pass the exam given that you study hard.

9 7) Future continuous FORM: WILL/WON’T + BE + PRESENT PARTICIPLE (VERB+ ING) USE: TO TALK ABOUT AN ACTOIN IN PROGRESS AT A TIME IN THE FUTURE. (+)You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight. (?)Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight? (-)You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight. -In the future, we will be living in smaller, self-sustaining communities. -In 2025 John will be studying at university. REMEMBER!!! Non-Continuous Verbs / State verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Jane will be being at my house when you arrive. Not Correct Jane will be at my house when you arrive. Correct

10 8)future perfect FORM: WILL/ WON’T + HAVE + PAST PARTICIPLE (3RD COLUMN OF THE VERB) USE: TO TALK ABOUT ACTIONS THAT WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE A CERTAIN TIME IN THE FUTURE. -The party will have ended by the time you finish work. -I’ll have eaten before we meet. -Do you think she’ll have seen the doctor by four o’clock? -Next month my parents will have been together for thirty years. -At the end of this month, they will have been in their house for one year. -Next month I will have worked for the company for six years. -I think they’ll have got there by six o’clock. -Won’t she have retired by the end of the year?

11 -by tomorrow/7 o'clock/next month
Good to know! Building the Future Perfect sentences we often use the common time expressions such as:  -by -by the time -before -by tomorrow/7 o'clock/next month -until/till
