3. 3 Outline Materi Future Continuous Future Perfect

4. 4 Future Continuous We use the future continuous (will be –ing) for an event which is going on at a particular time in the future or over a period of time in the future: I’ll be working at seven o’clock. (=I will start before seven and I will continue after seven) By the time you read this letter I’ll be sailing towards Australia.

5. 5 Going to We use ‘going to’: For future actions which we have already decided about. Compare: We’re going to pack up our stuff, we’re going to send a message to the mainland and we’re going to leave. (= they already have a clear plan) We’ll pack up our stuff …etc. (= she might be deciding as she speaks or it might be a simple statement of fact, not a planned action)

6. 6 Going to To predict something, when we already see evidence for our prediction: » It’s going to rain soon. (= the speaker knows it’s going to rain because he can see the clouds) There are many situations when either going to or will can be used with no real difference in meaning. Going to is used extremely often in everyday speech. In formal and written English will and the present tenses are used more often than going to.

7. 7 Future Perfect We use the future prefect simple for an action which will be complete at a point of time in the future. It is usual to mention the point in time: By the end of this week we’ll have survived longer than anyone else.

8. 8 Future Perfect Continuous We use the future perfect continuous to emphasize how long an action will have lasted up to a point in the future. It is usually necessary to mention the point of time and the length of time: By the end of this week, we’ll have been living here for six months. »State verbs are not used in the future perfect continuous.

9. 9 Future Perfect We use ‘to be about to’ to talk about something which is going to happen very soon and for which we are already preparing: Actually, we’re about to leave. In the negative, to be about to often means ‘ do not intend to’ do something: We aren’t about to change the rules just because you don’t like them. (= we refuse to change the rules just because you don’t like them) Source: Cambridge GRAMMAR for First Certificate by Louise Hashemi & Barbara Thomas
