Future Simple
- We use the Simple Future to talk about predictions, promises, offers, and spontaneous decisions. We form the Simple Future with WILL plus the infinitive form of the verb. For example:
- – It will rain tomorrow. (Prediction)
- – I will be with you the whole day. (Promises)
- – I will help you with that. (Offer)
- – I will call you right back. (Spontaneous decission).
- The structure in the affirmative form is:
- Subject + will + verb + object
- We can also use the contracted form ‘LL. For example:
- – She’ll be home by 10 o’clock.
- – They’ll give us a hand for the move.
GOING TO describes intentions and predictions. To make a sentence with GOING TO, we place the SUBJECT, then TO BE, then GOING TO, then the PRESENT SIMPLE VERB. - “I’m going to visit my grandmother tomorrow.”
- “Karen is going to dance with her husband.”
- “Alec and Brandon are going to play tennis next week.”
- -We also use GOING TO to make predictions (talk about likely outcomes).
- “Be careful! You’re going to fall!”
- “Micah is going to pass the test, you’ll see.”
- “It’s going to rain again tomorrow.”
- -We can use a short form, GONNA, in informal speech.
- “It’s gonna snow on Thursday.”
- “I’m gonna be late for work again.”

Hi Robin. It’s always great to listen to your teaching. I’m planning to do something nice to surprise my friend. I’m going to invite one of hers old friends to her birthday party. I’m sure she’ll like it. I’m also going to bake her favourite cake. I will probably ask her mother to Skype with her too. She will be so happy. I
Thanks Robin.
