00:00:01,139 --> 00:00:08,460
Hello, we are going to study the use of the future simple tense and the first conditional using will.

2
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:15,019
Let's start with the statements in the affirmative as the following example

3
00:00:15,019 --> 00:00:18,679
Sheila will pass all her exams next June

4
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:25,120
or in the negative Sheila will not pass all his exams next June.

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,719
We have want between brackets because it is the contraction of will not.

6
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:36,240
In the following slide, we are going to see will with the different subjects.

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:42,460
And as we can see, will doesn't change in spite of the subjects.

8
00:00:43,219 --> 00:00:52,520
In the negative, we use the contraction won't, and it doesn't change with the different subjects neither.

9
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:59,700
Let's see the formation of gestural questions using will and short answers.

10
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:06,599
In this example, what we see is that will is placed before the subject.

11
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:11,599
And then we have the short answers, affirmative or negative.

12
00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:13,920
Yes, you will. No, you won't.

13
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:23,299
In the following examples, we'll see that the structure of the question goes as in the first example.

14
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:28,920
So we write will before the subject when we are asking yes or no questions.

15
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:35,560
and then how we answer those questions using will in the affirmative or want in the negative.

16
00:01:36,819 --> 00:01:47,980
In the following slide, we are going to highlight that we can either say will or write will when we are using the future simple,

17
00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:57,840
or we can use will contraction, which is how it is pronounced when we are using spoken English,

18
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:03,980
or how we contract will not using want.

19
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,319
Now let's move to explain the different uses of will

20
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,000
when we are using the future simple.

21
00:02:12,659 --> 00:02:16,020
We use will to express certain decision in a conversation

22
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:17,780
as in the following one.

23
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,939
A says, there isn't any milk left in the fridge

24
00:02:21,939 --> 00:02:26,439
and B replies, don't worry, I'll get some in the supermarket.

25
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:32,099
So we are using will in this conversation without any previous plan.

26
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:40,090
We can also use will to express promises, as in this example.

27
00:02:40,509 --> 00:02:42,569
I'll call you back when I get to the hotel.

28
00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:49,150
And we can also use will to make predictions about the future.

29
00:02:49,689 --> 00:02:52,569
And then we use adverbs of possibility and probability.

30
00:02:53,469 --> 00:03:00,550
In this example, what we can see is that the prediction about the future is not certain or sure.

31
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:10,150
That's why we can add adverbs such as probably or possibly to express that meaning.

32
00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:15,710
People will have few children in 10 years means that perhaps they will, but we don't know.

33
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:21,550
And that uncertainty is also expressed in the following examples.

34
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:27,990
I think she'll probably get pregnant next year or Mark will possibly come to the party tomorrow.

35
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:34,169
Let's now explain how to form the first conditional.

36
00:03:34,650 --> 00:03:43,129
It is important to point out that we are using will in this type of conditional.

37
00:03:45,629 --> 00:03:52,710
If we look at the example, my sister will start university next year if she passes all her subjects in June.

38
00:03:52,710 --> 00:04:02,430
As we can see in the first part of this sentence, we have will expressing the future simple tense.

39
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:07,189
And then we have the condition written in the present simple.

40
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:16,509
We can also change the order of the elements of this sentence so that we place the condition first

41
00:04:16,509 --> 00:04:24,589
and then we write it using the present simple tense and then we use the future simple tense

42
00:04:24,589 --> 00:04:32,050
after a comma. So we have in these two examples the following. My sister will start university

43
00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:39,449
next year if she passes all her subjects in June or if my sister passes all her subjects in June

44
00:04:39,449 --> 00:04:46,089
she will start university next year. We can also use all the connectors with these first

45
00:04:46,089 --> 00:04:53,449
conditional, unless, which means if not, and when, which has a temporal meaning. Unless you study

46
00:04:53,449 --> 00:05:00,990
harder, you'll fail the next exam, means if you don't study harder, you'll fail. When I finish

47
00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:10,220
my homework tonight, I'll see a movie at home. The use of the first conditional is to talk about

48
00:05:10,220 --> 00:05:15,560
actions or events in the future which are likely to happen or have a real possibility of happening.

49
00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:17,839
Let's see the following examples.

50
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,439
If I miss my train, I tell you the next one.

51
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:23,720
Peter will call you if he arrives late tonight.

52
00:05:24,379 --> 00:05:29,379
So these are examples of this first conditional using will.

53
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:32,000
Thank you very much for listening.
