The Future
• In English there are two future tenses. There is the future with ‘going to’ and the future
with ‘will’.
I’ll
You’ll
He’ll
She’ll
We’ll
You’ll
They’ll
Notes:
1. In the USA American usually abbreviate the future with going to. Instead of saying ‘going
to’ they say ‘GONNA’. This is used only in spoken English and cannot be used when you write
essays.
e.g. Peter is going to buy a new car. = Peter is gonna buy a new car.
2. The future with ‘going to’ is much more used than the future with ‘will’.
Determiners of time:

. The structure is:

In general, have to expresses impersonal obligation. The subject of have to is obliged or

objective. Look at these examples:
