Методическая разработка урока по теме "WAYS OF EXPRESSING THE FUTURE"

WAYS OF EXPRESSING THE FUTURE

We use the Present Simple to talk about timetables, programmes or routines.

Eg: I start school at 8 o'clock every day. My school bus arrives at 7.45

We use the Present Continuous to talk about arrangements.

Eg: We are having a meeting of our student council members next week.

We use be going to to talk:

- about intentions, plans or ambitions for the future:

 -about predictions based on present evidence.

Eg I'm going to enter the university next year., I feel terrible. I think I'm going to fail.

We use will for:

-      decisions made at the moment of speaking:

-      predictions about the future, based on our beliefs, ideas, expectations, with the verbs I think, I believe, I hope, etc., the expressions be sure/certain, be afraid, etc., adverbs probably, perhaps;

-       actions or events which will definitely happen in the future and which we cannot control.

Eg We will take end of the year exams in June. I feel terrible, I think I will fail.

I won't cheat anymore, please don't give me a Fail.-Ok. I have to go! I'll call you tomorrow!
