WILL for the PRESENT, PAST & FUTURE!? - English grammar for C1 (CAE) Advanced

[@SMASHEnglish]

I have helped hundreds of people pass their B2 First exam at no cost, and I would LOVE to keep it that way. Of course, I still have to maintain a full time job while running this channel, and BELIEVE ME, I spend the majority of my free time writing, recording, editing and publishing videos. I love doing this, but I would love it even more if I could do it for a living! If every student that PASSED their exams bought one beer for Bruce I’d be able to do this full time. That would be MARVELLOUS! So, if you’ve PASSED your B2 First exam, and feel that SMASH English really helped, please consider donating here: www.buymeacoffee.com/SMASHEnglish This is not an obligation. One of the fantastic things about SMASH English is that it is free for everyone that needs it! This will not change. However, if you do feel you can say thanks with a little bit of money then that’s fantastic. Thank you all! Toby.

Hello, Toby! Just wanted to ask whether you are planning on making more videos about the C1 Advanced Writing Paper in the future? Best regards from an avid viewer 👋 PS. Just donated to your channel via the link in the description and I highly recommend others do so as well!

[@SMASHEnglish]

Thanks for the donation! I really appreciate it, mate! And YES! Of course! I haven't done one in a while because they are VERY labour intensive. BUT I will definitely be releasing writing videos over the course of the year!

[@koobzandthekeys]

@@SMASHEnglish Really looking forward to them, I'm sure they'll be great! And thanks for a nice adjective that I've just written down in my notebook (labour-intensive) ;)

This site is a great asset! The only thing I don't like about it, is that I've to wait for such a long time before a new video is uploaded.

[@aulahamza9593]

This video is great Toby 👍🏿

[@SMASHEnglish]

YESSSS!!!! Thanks 😇😇😇😃😃

Hi, Toby! I made you a donation and you have mentioned my nickname on the latest videos. I'm glad I could help you just a little and it is a way to show you my gratitude to your amazing job! So, about the examples on the video: Ex: The sky is gray, it is going to rain is a prediction based on evidence, so that's why we are supposed to use 'going to' Remember to bring your umbrella! It'll be raining tomorrow, perhaps, it's more based on the person's belief that's why we should use 'will'...I'm not so sure about it. Hugs from Brazil!

[@SMASHEnglish]

Thank you so much, Carolina! 😁 So, you're correct about the "going to" example. Here the future continuous "will+be+ing" is being used to suggest that a future is imminent that requires preparation: "Hurry up! He'll be arriving soon!" "Quick! The train will be arriving any moment now!"

[@carolinarosinelli]

@@SMASHEnglish Thanks for the explanation! You're an amazing teacher! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@martinvoet217]

Tony, would it be a good idea to answer the question, "Tell me about your daily routine" with "I'll get up at 8 o'clock, then I'll have breaakfast, ...." in a Cambridge exam, or would it be better and/or safer to use the present simple? Thanks in advance!

[@Nunaromedus]

Thanks for the video. I've already known about most of the usability of the "will" but you still was able to surprise me with some new information! P.S. Someone bought 3 beer for bruces. My monthly payment to my internet teacher and a great guy - Toby. Cheers, bro. P.P.S. Forgot to mention my nickname there - Nunaromedus =___=

[@SMASHEnglish]

I will never forget you (or your nickname!). Thank you so much 🤩🤩🤩 I am glad the video helped you! If you have any video requests don't hesitate!

[@Nunaromedus]

@@SMASHEnglish Thanks. I don't have any for now) I was going to pass the B2 First Test but the war had come to my place (Ukraine) and all the Cambridge Certification Centers were closed and they still are, so I can't even try to pass :( Anyway...I believe for best and I will survive till the war ends, The Cambridge Centers will be opened, I will take the exam and will definitely pass it! And will visit England as I've always wanted:)

[@SMASHEnglish]

@@Nunaromedus Awww man I am sorry to hear that it's all going on on your doorstep. But yes, this too shall pass eventually. The world really has been a funny place since 2020... I'm still waiting for things to feel "normal" again, I hope they do again for Ukraine soon...

[@estefaniavelazquez8264]

[@TA-wj9jr]

Thank you for the video as always. I have a question. Could I write the writing test in cursive? I am prone to write in cursive..

[@SMASHEnglish]

Of course you can! Just make sure it's legible.

[@TA-wj9jr]

@@SMASHEnglish Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear that!

[@nirajthakor9748]

Thanks sir for this wonderful explanation but i have some questions... Could i use will in this way?? Mm today i have appointment with the doctor.. but i don't think he will arrive (yet) there now To light up my example that what i want to ask i can say "He must not arrive right now" that's what i want to say but with will can i use?? And what about this examples? 1) Don't call her she will be cooking right now OR don't call her she must be cooking right now And suppose my brother left to go to school and i want to say that he hasn't got there(school)... Can i say "Mm he won't get there (yet)
