Grammar: Talking about the future in the past - BBC English Masterclass

[@dnoypi206]

I was going to say thank you. But, I thought no words would fit how much grateful I am learning English with BBC.

[@BrunaGuissi]

Even though this dates back more than four years ago, it still remains quite useful and didactic. I use your channel's videos in my classes often! It helps me refresh the subjects and better explain this to my students. Thank-you very much.

[@mmaryuv5777]

Easy to know, hard to remember when talking.

[@Mohammed.Ahmed-Ghanam]

I totally agree with you 😂😂

[@CamilaContreras-mj3sc]

The video is very useful, it helped me to clarify certain doubts that I had about the subject as it is very well explained and is easier to understand thanks to how it explains it.

lovely teacher

[@naturewildlife1311]

Life saver lecture

[@MegaMyacc]

I love your accent..

[@annasaifulina3574]

Could you please explain why do you 'going to go'. I remember there is a rule that verbs 'go' and 'come' can't be used with 'be going to'

[@bbclearningenglish]

You’re right Anna, some grammar books say that we don't normally use the verbs ‘go’ or ‘come’ with the ‘going to’ form - we use the present continuous instead. But in fact, both forms are grammatically correct and used by native speakers. So, Sian could say here: ‘I’m going for a run’ or ‘I’m going to go for a run’. Normally, the ‘going to’ form is used for intentions/plans and the present continuous form is used for arrangements.

[@drakpala5140]

Anna Saifulina thank you so much.

[@Jtube0101Mega]

Hello teacher. It was a great lesson and I thank you very much, but I have a question. Do we use this same structure to talk about future plans related to now that were canceled? I have some examples about what I mean bellow. 1) Imagine I am going to travel to Canada next month and my uncle invited me to visit him next month so I say 'Sorry, I can't travel to you house because I am going to travel to Canada next month' But now (which is not next month yet), for some reason all flights to Canda were cancelled. So in this situation I call to my uncle and say: 'I was going to travel to Canada next month, but all the flights were canceled, so I can go to your house' Is correct to say about that plan to the future related to now that was cancelled 'I was going to travel to Canada...' ? 2) Imagine my friend invited me to his birthday party next week, but can't go because I have a business traveling so I say him: 'Sorry, I can't go to your birthday party next wee because I am traveling next week'. However, after I say that to my friend, for some reason, my business traveling was canceled. So, I call to my friend now and say 'I was traveling next week, but it was canceled. I can go to your birthday party next week' ---- So, is correct use the same structure explained int the video to talk about future plans related to now that was canceled? The most important sentences about what I mean are bellow. I ask that because I've found on the internet only explanations about the future in the past but not explantions about future plans related to now that were canceled. 'I was going to travel to Canada next month, but all the flights were canceled, so I can go to your house' 'I was traveling next week, but it was canceled. I can go to your birthday party next week' Thank you very much from Brazil

[@mahhais5221]

Thank u for your intertaining & interesting method. I would like to ask you this question:Is it correct to change this example from the future into future in the past as follows: Ex:John will be working late, so I won't call him early in the morning. I knew John would be working late, so I wouldn't call him early in the morning . Why it can be answered as follows? Which of the two answers is correct? I knew John would be working late, so I didn't call him early in the morning. I want to know which of the answers above is correct cobsolidating your comment with a grammatical rule. I am looking forward to your answer sooner not later with my regards. I am from Iraq.

[@ximenamejia7009]

Wow!

[@Estanis72]

Does anybody have a aspiring?I feel a bit dizzy after this lesson ...I just want to have fun and be able to communicate with other people and if it's possible reach the queen's level of English...

[@sgdusdm8225]

Future in the past is used to express the idea that in the past you thought something would happen in the future.

[@kevinlau1953]

[@berodicko8131]

[@Krucezam]

[@maheshm6461]

It is same like reported speech

[@relx4moment526]

Can you give me examples in Word: recognized in future in the past tense. Pls

[@bbclearningenglish]

I didn't think I would recognise you when I saw you, but I did!

[@mariamkinen8036]

Actually this follows the pattern but you only need to know the particular usage.

[@mariamkinen8036]

... the future in the past. At that time. Which was then the future. I do understand.

[@2023noone]

[@Now6674]

Good video but the music that you use in between segments is disturbing an irritating

[@alexanderminchenko777]

It should have been 'I was thinking of going.'

[@luissanches23]

What's the difference between I was going to tell you. and I was about to tell you.

[@sksksksksksk6764]

Ammar will be working late , so I won't call 📱 him early in the morning . To make it future in the past will /would won't / didn’t The question ❔ is why won't became didn't

[@twothree4]

I dont know if it's only me or this music is really bizarre🤨

[@Canyon2-w7k]

a bit hard and confusing.

[@Canyon2-w7k]

I was in time machine.. past, present & future.

[@romulusmilea2747]
