Future

Can be described in 4 ways:
1. will + verb

2. to be + going to + verb
3. present continuous
4. present simple

1. Future simple = will + verb

- offer something (e.g. help)

- promises
- announcements

- decisions
- predictions without proof (also the weather)

I will help you later today.

1. Future simple

offer something: We will help you with the dishes.
promises: I promise I will call Patrick tomorrow.
announcement: The concert won't start in a few minutes.
decisions: I won't go to football practice today.
predictions without proof: I will buy a sportscar when I have a job.

Future simple is...
(multiple answers correct)

1. will + verb
2. something you offer or promise
3. a decision or announcement
4. a prediction without proof

2. Future continuous = to be + going to + verb

am/are/is + going to + verb

you use a conjugation of to be, not 'to be' in a sentence.

So I am, you are, etc.

Use:
- someone is planning something in the future

- a prediction with proof

2. FC = to be + going to + verb

someone is planning something in the future:
I am going to play videogames all afternoon.

prediction with proof:
Look at those dark clouds! It is going to rain.

Future continuous is ...

1. am/are/is + going to + verb
2. something planned in the future
3. a prediction with proof
4. irrelevant.

3. present continuous

am/are/is + (verb+ing)

Use:

Appointments in the future. The time and place are set.

We are flying to Italy on Monday.

4. Present simple

verb (+(e)s)

He/She/It > verb + (e)s

Use:

Times that are set through a set schedule that is going to happen in the future. 

E.g. opening times, arrivals and departures

4. Present simple

Examples of time according to a set schedule.

The train arrives at 5.15 pm.
The plane leaves at 6 am.
The baker's opens at 8 am.
The school closes at 5 pm.

This includes public transport and buildings.
