GRAMMAR: FUTURE TENSES (I)
Which of the following tenses do we use to talk about future actions?. Underline them
If you need help, go to pages 32-33 (workbook) or 105-106 (students’ book)

PRESENT CONTINUOUS · PAST SIMPLE · PAST CONTINUOUS ·
WILL + INF. · BE GOING TO + INF. · PRESENT PERFECT · PRESENT SIMPLE

To talk about future actions we use different tenses:
PRESENT SIMPLE
Usamos este tiempo cuando nos referimos a acciones sujetas a un horario
The film starts at 8.00
NUNCA usamos el PRESENT SIMPLE para hablar de una intención o una decisión.
I’m tired. I’m going to bed I go to bed

PRESENT CONTINUOUS (AM, IS, ARE + -ING)
Usamos este tiempo para hablar de planes futuros, que han sido previamente planeados. Cuando usamos
el PRESENT CONTINUOUS para hablar de estos planes usamos expresiones de tiempo futuro como:
tomorrow, next week... para que quede claro que la acción no está ocurriendo ahora.
Mary is visiting us next month.
BE GOING TO + INF. (AM, IS, ARE GOING TO + INF.)
Lo usamos para:
• hablar de una intención: I’m going to study harder to pass all the exams
• hablar de planes para el futuro: We are going to travel to the USA next summer
(aquí podríamos usar también el PRESENT CONTINUOUS)
• hacer una predicción, basándonos en una evidencia, en alguna prueba que tenemos:
Look at those black clouds! It’s going to rain!
WILL + INF
Recuerda : WILL NOT = WON’T
Usamos este tiempo verbal para:
• hablar de hechos futuros en general: Next week is my birthday. I will be 16
• hacer predicciones, en este caso no nos apoyamos en ninguna evidencia.
◦ It won’t rain tomorrow
• hablar de acciones espontáneas. En este caso tenemos que tener cuidado con la traducción ya
que en castellano nunca usaríamos un futuro:
It’s very hot! I’ll open the window
• hacer promesas y ofrecimientos: Don’t worry. I’ll help you

3. Match the future forms and the uses
1. He’ll probably come to my party a. future intention
2. The party starts at 9 b. prediction
3. We are meeting at the cinema at 7 c. future fact
4. I’m going to dance all night d. spontaneous decision
5. I’ll be 16 e. future plan
6. It’s late! I’ll take a bus f. timetabled event
4. Underline the correct answer.

Sue: Where ARE YOU MEETING / DO YOU MEET her?
Peter: Outside the cinema at 7.00. The bus LEAVES / IS LEAVING here at 6.30, so

Peter: The latest James Bond film. It IS STARTING / STARTS at 7.30.
Sue: ARE YOU DOING / DO YOU DO anything after the film?
Peter: WE’RE HAVING DINNER / WE HAVE DINNER at Mary’s house.
5. Complete with WILL/WON’T + inf or BE GOING TO + inf.
