Topic 1: Language focus - The future

Language focus: Future forms

The English language has no special future tense. 

Instead we use: present simple, present continuous, will, and past tense of future forms

We use the future for arrangements, intentions, predictions, timetables, spontaneous decisions.

Let's check your intuition first.
