Doel: je gebruikt de toekomstige tense om aan te geven dat iets in de (bijna) toekomst gaat gebeuren:
Manier 1: Events that are scheduled or arranged (gepland en geregeld) - present simple
Manier 2: Talk about future plans or intentions (plannen en intenties) - am/are/is + (not) going to + a verb
Manier 3: To make promises and predictions about the future (beloftes en voorspellingen) - will
For example
- This year's shopping trip is next weekend already = present simple
- Once you start your homework I am going to make/will you a cup of tea = to be going to + will = allebei mogelijk
- I am not feeling very well. I am going to take/will the day off = to be going to + will is allebei mogelijk
