Hello class and welcome to the second term and the third unit.
00:00:00
So far we've looked at verb tenses that have to do or are connected to the present and the past.
00:00:13
Today we're going to turn to the future forms or the future tenses.
00:00:28
There is something that you have to know in particular about English,
00:00:39
and that is that in English we don't have one future tense.
00:00:47
Rather, we use several forms to talk about different ideas about the future.
00:00:54
And today we're going to look at the main ones, the main forms.
00:01:02
Let's start with the logical or the easier one, which is WILL.
00:01:10
WILL is followed by an infinitive.
00:01:19
By the way, if you want to know how all these forms that we're going to see today are used in other forms, like not only affirmative, but also negative and questions, I strongly recommend you to watch the video that you have in the book.
00:01:23
You can also see, I also speak about it in the aula virtual, okay?
00:01:50
Plus, don't forget that there is a chart that summarizes all the forms of the verbs in the aula virtual, too.
00:01:58
So, coming back to future, to will and infinitive.
00:02:10
What do we use will for?
00:02:15
We use WILL mainly in four cases. When you decide something but you
00:02:18
do not plan it, you have not planned it beforehand. In other words, when you make
00:02:32
an instant decision, a decision that you make in this very moment, with
00:02:39
predictions, but a prediction like the one that you could see, let's say, in the
00:02:46
tarot cards, or like there is no evidence to prove that your prediction is
00:02:54
correct or not. Offers and promises. Let's look at some examples. Here you can see
00:03:01
that's how the word will is in bold and infinitives are in underlined and they
00:03:10
are infinitives that means that they these verbs and all the verbs that go
00:03:19
after will do not change for any of the persons or if they do not change in any
00:03:29
case because they are the infinitive they are not present or something like
00:03:36
that let me remind you that the negative of will is will not want well let's look
00:03:43
at each of the examples this is an example of an instant decision imagine
00:03:55
you get to a restaurant and the waiter asks for asks you what you want to have
00:04:00
you just decide that I will have a cup of coffee in a cheesecake you just have
00:04:09
just decided that in the restaurant that is an instant decision you have not
00:04:17
planned that you were going to have that a prediction but a prediction without
00:04:21
any evidence I will find the right job one day something that you are
00:04:27
predicting but you're not sure about it and you've got no evidence about that I
00:04:32
think that this will happen but I have no evidence so imagine as for number
00:04:37
three example number three imagine that you see an old person in in the street
00:04:43
maybe it's your grandfather or a neighbor and they are carrying very
00:04:50
heavy bags. You want to help them and you just say I will help you with these bags.
00:04:59
It doesn't mean that you do it in the future. You're just offering your help in
00:05:04
this very moment. I will help you with these bags. So right now you take the bags of
00:05:08
this person and you have them carry them. Finally, a promise. I think that
00:05:14
this is the most typical example of will as a promise. It's not necessarily about
00:05:21
the future. It means, will you marry me? It really means, do you want to marry me?
00:05:28
Yes, I will. I promise I'm going to do that. I'm engaged to that. I promise to do
00:05:34
This is an example of a question of will used in a question where you can see as
00:05:40
you can see there is an auxiliary subject inversion. Okay let's move on to a
00:05:47
second form or a second way to speak about the future in English. This is to
00:05:55
be going to followed by infinitive, like will was. What do we use this for? We use
00:06:06
going to for plans or intentions and for predictions, but this time for these
00:06:15
predictions we have an evidence, not like the case that we saw before where we did
00:06:24
not have any evidence. Let's look at examples. Again, notice that I'm going to
00:06:31
changes, the verb to be changes for all the persons. It is, I am, but the main verb
00:06:41
does not change at all. It is an infinitive. So, I'm going to visit my
00:06:48
grandma. This is what I have planned. That's my intention. That's my plan. I
00:06:54
I have already decided it.
00:06:58
It's not an instant decision, like we saw before with Will.
00:07:01
It's going to rain, look at those clouds.
00:07:06
So there isn't evidence.
00:07:09
I can see gray clouds, so I am predicting out of evidence.
00:07:11
That's why we use to be going to.
00:07:17
A third form of the future is the present continuous.
00:07:21
the present continuous. We use the present continuous to talk about things
00:07:26
that we've arranged to do in the future. In that sense, it's a bit similar and
00:07:33
sometimes interchangeable with to be going to. There is a very slight
00:07:39
differentiation between them both. In the case of the present
00:07:45
continues. We know exactly when this is going to happen and usually they
00:07:51
are supposed to happen in the near future. I'm staying at the
00:07:58
Astoria hotel. We're getting married in July. You do know exactly when. If you
00:08:04
remember in the case of to be going to before, when we were talking about
00:08:12
your plans, you just said I'm going to visit my grandma, but you were not
00:08:18
stating when. It's a bit more vague. On the other hand, if the present
00:08:24
continues, here we have an arrangement, future arrangement. For these cases,
00:08:32
for these two cases, there is another person or organization involved. For
00:08:41
visiting your grandma, there was no other person or organization involved
00:08:46
necessarily. By the way, I haven't mentioned that for the present continuous
00:08:51
what we have to do is to use the present continuous with the same form that we've
00:08:56
seen. The verb to be changes for the different persons and the main verb is
00:09:01
written with the ing form. Finally, for today, we also have the present simple.
00:09:08
and this is one of the easiest uses because we use the present simple only
00:09:19
for future events that are part of a schedule or a timetable. But you're gonna
00:09:25
see this very easily with an example. The bus. You do have a
00:09:32
timetable of when buses are supposed to arrive. So the bus doesn't arrive at 11
00:09:43
a.m. it arrives at 11 p.m. what time does the movie begin tonight I mean there is
00:09:51
a fixed time the plane arrives at 12 p.m. there is a fixed time when these
00:09:58
things are supposed to happen that's when we use the present simple and
00:10:09
obviously we use it with the same forms and in the same way that we've seen
00:10:14
before the principle is used. So we need an es where there is a third person singular subject
00:10:20
and for the negative form you add not to them, excuse me, you add doesn't and for questions you
00:10:32
use thus or do of course and the same happened with the negative form so this
00:10:42
is a summary okay a visual summary where I want you to look and see and compare
00:10:50
the four forms that we've been talking about sorry I went too fast and I went
00:10:58
too far now. Okay, so these are the four chances. Going to, for plans and
00:11:08
intentions and prediction based on evidence. Will, for promises, for instant
00:11:21
decisions, not plans, something I haven't planned before, an offer, and a prediction
00:11:29
with no evidence. Present continuous is for a future arrangement, what is the
00:11:35
difference between an arrangement and a plan that for an arrangement I need
00:11:40
another organization or another person involved to organize I need an
00:11:44
arrangement is when I go to the dentist when but a plan is something that is
00:11:50
not so fixed although it is true that sometimes the use of going to and the
00:11:57
present continuous for this use like the use of the plan or future arrangements a
00:12:04
bit difficult to see in this there are very slight differences and finally the
00:12:09
presence temple when I have I'm going to speak about something that is going to
00:12:15
happen in the future but I do have a timetable so I hope that you you can
00:12:20
understand these four uses of the these four forms of the future you have any
00:12:30
questions you know that I am available in the video call and via messages if you
