Future in English - How to Talk about the Future

[@ahmed_raaphat]

Notes from the lesson: 1- We use the present continuous with future plans that we know when and where they would happen. 2- We use the present simple with timetables and schedules. 3- We use “will” or “going to” for making predictions. (This is not their only use) 4- We use modal verbs such as "maybe", "might", or "could" to express future events that we are not sure when exactly would happen. Extra notes from the explanation of the answers of the quiz: - We use "will" (and the negative form "won’t") for promises and making decisions. - The words "would like" (in affirmative or question form) are used to express wishes for the future. - For a plan, "going to" and present continuous are both possible. - There is a small difference between "will" and "going to" with predictions: "going to" is normally used when the prediction is very certain (e.g. a journey, where the circumstances make it easy to predict the long duration); "will" is used where the prediction is a bit less certain, and often qualified with an adverb like "probably".

I decided to live there for couple of weeks so that I can explore the beauty and culture of the country in deep. As, I have friends there so at present going by myself but yeah, my friend reeza will join me there for sightseeing.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thank you for sharing, Aruna! Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I decided to stay there for a couple of weeks...' not, 'live'. 2) '...so that I can deeply explore the beauty...' not, '...country in deep'. 3) 'I have friends there so at present, I'm going by myself,' not, 'As, I have friends there so at present going by myself'. Hope this helps you!

I'm interest in street food and i like the mix cultures in this country.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for sharing your answer, Quynh. Here are a few corrections for you: 1) '...a company trip next August,' not, 'on next August'. 2) '...the third time I go to this country,' not, '...the third time i come to this country'. 3) 'According to the plan...' not, 'According the plan...'.

[@angellakaaan9483]

I’m planning to buy a car next year and learn to drive before that. I think its a must these days but I don’t think everybody needs to learn it. It can benefit me a lot now that I always need a decent ride whenever me and my baby goes to a place. Looking for a spot to park the car is hard. But booking for a grab ride or finding a taxi is way much harder. I believe it’s best for my family. A necessity worth spending for.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Nice response, Angel! Here are some things to think about: 1) 'I think it's a must...' not, 'its'. 2) '...whenever my baby and I go somewhere...' not, '...whenever me and my baby goes to a place...'. 3) '...is way harder,' or, '...is much harder,' not, 'way much'. Hope this is helpful!

Excellent response, Kaniz! Here are some tips: 1) 'I'm going there with one of my friends,' not, 'friend.' 2) 'We are planning to go to Saint Martine...' not, 'We are planing to go Saint Martine...' 3) 'I'd like to be a famous researcher one day,' not, 'I'd like to an famous researchers one day.'

Nice, Hamid. Here are a few tips for you: 1) '...going to western Iran this summer,' or, '...going to the west of Iran this summer,' not, '...going to west of iran in this summer.' 2) '...but I'll likely be there for...' not, '...but i likely to be there for...' 3) The third sentence is a bit confusing as written.

I have to say something about your English lessons. So, all of native English speakers (teachers on this web p) are so relax. But when I see some people (teachers) like this lady, probably from China or Korea), they are trying to be relax and act like native speaker but it is not so easy. Mister Martin is so good speaker and teacher and I am enjoying in his lessons. Please, do not take me wrong, but in my poor opinion maybe it will be better to avoid no/native English speakers. Have a nice day. Mark

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for watching and giving us feedback. At OOE, we have teachers with many types of accents and styles. As an English learner, it's important to become familiar with many different accents and styles. When you speak English in the real world, you will not get to choose only what you want to hear! We try to provide realistic practice for our students.

Thank you for the explanation illustrated with great examples. Talking about the future My plans for vacations I'm going to visit Feodosia in August with my husband and son for a week. We are planning to visit the museums of famous writers. We are also going to swim in the sea and to walk along the quay. Future plans and dreams We're going to buy some of the household appliances next weekend. I'd like to learn how to drive a car. My dream is to visit the Yellowstone National Park. Timetable The workouts take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6 pm. The barge leaves at 8 am. The show starts at 7.30 pm Predictions My mother-in-law is very good at knitting. Anything she knits is beautiful. The traffic is heavy at this time of the day so he's unlikely to arrive before 9.00. You're sure to enjoy this trip to the countryside. Talking about possibilities It might be cloudy today. She may become a good cook. Perhaps we'll participate in a quest this evening.
