Regel

De Future gebruik je als je over de toekomst praat. Dat kan op
3 manieren: present simple, present continuous, will/shall + ww

- The bus arrives at 16:21. It's now 16:15, so no need to rush.   

- I am celebrating my birthday on Saturday. 

- Shall I help you with your homework tomorrow? 

Welke vormen?

1. Present Simple (stam of stam + s bij he/she/it)
2. Present Continuous (am/are/is + ww met -ing)
3. To be going to + hele ww 
4. Will / Shall + hele ww

Maar wanneer welke vorm?

1. Present Simple

Je gebruikt de Present Simple als iets in de toekomst volgens een schema gaat gebeuren. Dit zijn dingen die heel zeker zijn.

Bijvoorbeeld roosters en treintijden.

The train arrives at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

2. Present Continuous

Je gebruikt de Present Continuous als dingen 

afgesproken / geregeld zijn en vrijwel zeker gaan gebeuren.

My mom and I are visiting Amsterdam this Saturday.

Het verschil tussen de Present Continuous en 

to be going to + hele ww is echter minimaal!

Je kunt deze best wel eens door elkaar heen gebruiken!

3. To be going to + hele ww

Je gebruikt to be going to + hele ww als dingen vooraf al gepland zijn en als je een voorspelling doet met bewijs.

The teacher is going to grade the exams tonight.

4. Will / Shall + hele ww

Je gebruikt will / shall + hele ww als dingen 

spontaan gebeuren en als je een voorspelling doet zonder bewijs (bijvoorbeeld een mening).

Shall I close the window? It's cold outside!

will + not = WON'T
