hello today we're going to talk about
simple future tense in English let's get
started in English future time is
expressed in a number of ways the most
common are with Will and be going to for
example I will finish my homework in an
hour I'm going to finish my homework in
an hour
grammatically will is always followed by
the base form of the verb for
example will plus verb or
contracted plus verb for example who
will
win we will win no they'll
win with B going to make sure the verb B
agrees with its subject B can be am is
or R depending on the
subject contracted it's m
or for example I'm going to eat a whole
watermelon she's going to eat a whole
watermelon actually we're going to eat a
whole watermelon together
in speech the words going to are often
pronounced
gonna don't forget the B verb for
example what are you going to do this
weekend I'm going to stay home and clean
my
carpet not I goingon to stay don't
forget the B verb here I'm gonna stay
also do not say I'm going to to stay
that is
incorrect what's the difference between
will and be going
to we'll talk about
predictions guesses strong intentions
the inevitable invitations and pop
decisions with predictions and guesses
both will and be going to can be used in
most cases
for example my package will arrive
tomorrow my package is going to arrive
tomorrow I predict or guess that my
package will arrive
tomorrow these are about the
same the phrase be going to is a little
bit more certain in this case of course
we can't always predict what's going to
happen in the future with 100% certainty
be going to is preferable for strong
intentions and plans for example I'm
going to tell her what I think we're
going to get
married be going to is also preferable
for describing the
inevitable that means you can't stop it
from happening for example watch out
it's going to fall
or he's going to break the
bank will is preferable for
invitations some invitations for example
will you go to the prom with me yes I
will I would love
to sometimes wood is more appropriate in
these situations but that's the topic of
another video see the link below
will can also be used in pop decisions
for example there's one cookie left I'll
take it no you won't I will won't means
will
not sometimes future time can be
expressed with either present or present
progressive tense in such cases time
words must be expressed or clearly
implied for example
I fly to Beijing
tomorrow I'm flying to Beijing tomorrow
notice the word tomorrow clearly puts it
in the future time although the verbs
are in present and present
progressive another example sorry I
can't attend the picnic on Friday I'm
flying to Beijing it's clear that you're
flying to Beijing on Friday which is in
the
future hope that was helpful now you
know how to use these Expressions
correctly remember to
practice that's all for today on say it
right in
