Grammar presentation: Forms of the future (5 /13)

Introduction
In English, there are several different ways to express the
Praticar
future.

The form "be going to + infinitive"

Aplicar
To talk about plans or intentions:

He's going to start a new job next month.

We are going to open a new branch in Australia next year.

When we are certain that something is going to happen or take place:

It's going to be a difficult meeting.

I'm going to miss the train.

The present continuous

The present continuous is used for future actions that have been planned.

I'm moving to New York next year.

I'm flying to Rome tomorrow.

Verbs that cannot be used in the present continuous form like know, like, understand, etc. use will or shall for their future forms.

I will know the results tomorrow.

The simple present

The simple present can be used to describe a future planned event or action that take places regularly (such as events that are listed in timetables or
programs).

What time does the annual meeting finish?

The Chicago-Paris flight arrives at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Will
This structure is not used as often as we would expect. Will is used for an action that is decided at the moment that we are speaking. We do not use
will to say what somebody has already arranged or decided to do in the future.

The negative of will is both will not and won't.

a. We use will for spontaneous actions

It is often used in spoken English (offers or promises).

Can you send me the document as soon as possible? Yes, I will send it now by fax.
I will get you some coffee.
I'll connect you.
I'll have a steak, please, but I won't have a dessert.

b. For predictions
House prices will go up in the future.
It will be worth a fortune in a year or two.
 I'll probably arrive late.

c. For formal use

We use will more in formal written English than in spoken English.

The President will be in Italy this weekend.

We will release the information next week.

Shall I / we?
Shall I? / Shall we? are used less and less as a future form but they are still used in interrogative sentences to ask or suggest something.

Shall I open the window?

Shall I get you a coffee?
Shall we start the meeting?

Seguinte

concerned, it's time to renovate.
