FUTURE (any moment after NOW)

Like many other languages, the English language

can use a present tense to talk about the future.
The English language makes a distinction between ‘what people do’ and ‘events or time-tables’ (things).
For events or time-tables the English language uses the ‘present simple’.
For ‘people’ it uses the ‘present continuous’.
Слайд 3

SIMPLE PRESENT - (for THINGS) we use it for Timetables and

SIMPLE PRESENT - (for THINGS) we use it for Timetables and

fixed future events

We use the verb in the simple present form + adverb of future time when necessary to avoid confusion with the present time.
It is not always necessary because we can deduct that the sentence is about the future because it begins with ‘When’- ‘What time’.
Adverbs frequently used:
Tomorrow (morning), next (week), on Monday, on + (future date).

TO BE GOING TO

We use am/is/are + going to

+ base form of main verb to express two types of situation:
People’s intentions
We can only have intentions for the future, so although we often use them, adverbs of future time are not always necessary.
b) Predictions based on the present time.
From what we see around us we believe that something will happen in the very near future.

WILL helps other verbs to express FUTURE Like other modals WILL

WILL helps other verbs to express FUTURE

Like other modals WILL is

followed by the base form (bare infinitive) of the main verb.
The negative form is won’t but if we want to emphasize the negative we say ‘WILL NOT’.
WILL is used in many circumstances to indicate the future, but it is not used for our future intentions, plans or programmes because will is an indicator of certainty.
