FUTURE TENSES

Dear students,

In this unit we are studying all the future tenses in English. As we have seen in class, we have 5 types of future:

WILL	Predictions	It will rain tomorrow.🌂 There won’t be a war in Spain. Do you think aliens will colonise the Earth?👽
	Spontaneous decisions	-          I’m going to the cinema.🎬 -          Oh! I will go with you!
	Promises and offers	I promise I will study harder.👀 I’ll be there for you. I will help you carry those books!
	“I’m sure”	I’m sure you will find a good boyfriend.💕
TO BE GOING TO	Plans	I am going to sleep all weekend long. I am so tired!😴 My parents are going to pay for my university studies. What are you going to do tomorrow?
	Predictions based on evidence	Look at those black clouds! It is going to rain!🌂🌂 Be careful! You are going to fall down the cliff!
PRESENT CONTINUOUS	Fixed plans or arrangements (when you are really sure about your plan)	I have already bought the tickets. I am travelling to USA next summer! Yayyyyy🗽 Are you coming to my party on Saturday? I sent you the invitations a month ago!
FUTURE CONTINUOUS WILL+BE+-ing WILL+ not+BE +-ing WILL+Subj+BE+-ing?	For something that will be happening at a specific time in the future.	This time next year, I will be studying 2º Bachillerato. (Dentro de un año estaré estudiando 2º Bach) In two weeks’ time, we will be having Christmas dinner with our family.🎅🎄 (En dos semanas estaremos cenando por navidad con nuestra familia) What will you be doing at this time tomorrow? (¿Qué estarás haciendo mañana a estas horas?)
FUTURE PERFECT WILL+HAVE+ participle WILL+not+HAVE+ part. WILL+Subj+HAVE+ part.?	For actions that will have finished at a specific moment in the future.

·         We also use the present simple with a sense of future with TIMETABLES or SCHEDULES:

The train leaves at seven o’clock (el tren sale a las siete en punto)

I finish work at 3.30 on Friday (El viernes termino de trabajar a las 3.30)

What time does the flight arrive tomorrow? (¿A qué hora llega el vuelo mañana?)
