Three ways to talk about the future

1) present simple: for timetables and schedules.

The meeting STARTS at 4 pm.

2) present continuous: for arrangements and appointments.

We ARE MEETING our new client this afternoon.

3) BE + GOING TO + INFINITIVE: for personal intentions

What is going to happen now?

For English there are two grades:

Progress test 1 = Unit 1 grade counts 1x

Progress test 2 = Unit 2 (50%) and MyEnglishLab practice (50%) grade counts 2x

Doing the exercises from the book introduces the new language and grammar.

Your practice in MyEnglishLab helps you to master the language. 

There will be a resit in week 9 of period 1, at 16.00 on Wednesday.

You can do MyEnglishLab exercises as many times as you like, until week 10.

What will you do differently next time?
