Future

We use “ going to”  to express a  future action,

We  use the auxiliary “be” + going to + Vsf   to express a future action.

Are they going to go to spain next week?     Yes, they’re going to go to spain

Aux. + Sub. + expression + Vsf + TE                          (+) Sub. + aux + Expression + Vsf                                           

                                                       

                                                       No, they aren’t going to go to apain

                                                       (-) Sub. + aux (-) + expression + Vsf

What is she going to do next week?          She’s going to take a trip to spain

Qw + Aux + Sub + Expression + Vsf + TE                Sub- + Expression + Vsf

We use the simple future to talk about future actions. We use will when we are sure about something in the future and we use May when we aren’t sure about something in the future.

Will Sally leave Mexico?   No She won’t leave Mexico

Aux. + Sub. + VSF                     (-) Sub.+ Aux(-) + VSF

What will she do?                she’ll take a trip

Qw. Aux.+ Sub.+ VSF                   Sub.+ Aux + VSF

Will he go to India? He may go to India

                             Sub+ Aux.+ VSF

·      We use the future possible conditional to express thing that wiil, can or may happen in future.

Condition                                                                             Result

 If she goes to the party                   She will drink beer 

           Simple present                      Sub. + Aux. + VSF

                                                      She may drink beer 

                                                      She can drink beer 

In the condition clause we use simple present in the result clause we use will, can or may + Vsf.

Will  is used to express that we are sure

May is used to express  that we aren’t sure

Can is used to express an opportunity.

    

    When we ask a question in future posible, the possible, the question form is always in the result; never the condition.

Result                                    Condition

Will she miss her boyfriend if she doesn’t forgive him? Yes, she will miss her boyfriend.

Aux. + Sub. + Vsf

What will she do if she goes to Mexico?  She will rent a house

Qw. + Aux + Sub + VSF

·        We can use “will have to” in the result clause to express an obligation.

If she goes to Mexico, she will have to rent a house.

Simple present                   Sub. + Aux. + Have to + Vsf

·        We use the future continuous to talk about an action that will be in progress at specific time in the future.

Will Tom be sleeping at 3:00 next Friday?   No, he won’t be sleeping at 3:00.  

Aux. + Sub. + BE + V + ing + TE                             (-) Sub. + Aux. + BE + V +ing + TE   

What will he be doing at 3:00?                    He will be working .

Qw. + Aux. + Sub + BE + V + ING + TE                     Sub. + Aux. + BE + V + ING

·         we use the time expression “at”   + specif time  (at 3:00, at noon, etc.)

When we use the expression “probably” we are indicating that we are fairly sure about an action; we believed that the action is more likely to happen that not:

I’ll probably be watching tv. at 3:00 = I’m almost sure I’ll be watching tv.

Note:  If you use “probably”, you believe that there is a very good chance you will do the action. If you aren’t sure, then use “maybe”

·        We use the Present continuous to talk about a planned future action.

How are they going to get to the hotel?           A driver is taking them.

Qw. + Aux. + Sub. + v + ing

We can use Time clauses to relate two actions in the future. When we do this, we use expressions like as soon as and when followed by the simple present
