Activity 1. Individual work. Mind map your future plans.

Future plans

DEVELOPMENT

How do we use the Future Simple tense?

a) No Plan (cuando no hay un plan, algo planeado)

We use the Future Simple tense when there is no plan or decision to do something before we speak.
We make the decision spontaneously at the time of speaking.

Look at these examples:

Hold on. I'll get a pen.
We will see what we can do to help you.
Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight.

b) Prediction (Cuando vamos a hacer una predicción)

We often use the Future Simple tense to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no
firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen.
Here are some examples:
It will rain tomorrow.
People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century. Who do you think
will get the job?

Structure:
Affirmative sentences with WILL
Subject + will + verb in base form + complement

6
Examples:
We will walk to school tomorrow.
He will be in the office next week.
They will play tennis this afternoon.

Negative Sentences with WILL

In the negative, we add NOT to the end of WILL and not to the main
verb. (= will not) Subject + will + not + verb in base
form + complement

Examples:
I will not be in the office
tomorrow.
They will not watch TV here.
It will not rain next Monday.

WILL NOT= WON’T

Contractions:
It is possible to use contractions in both positive and negative sentences.
