# I can talk about things that are going to happen in the future. 

The future tense is used to indicate something that is going to happen in the (near) future.

That something can be scheduled, planned, promised or intentions. You'll see you need different tenses for different plans.

Let's go over these four different tenses.

the present simple.

= used for scheduled events.

The train leaves at nine o'clock.

I fly to London next Friday at eleven o'clock.

meaning you can't influence this!

Will (and shall) are used to make predictions, offers, promises and sudden decisions.

(shall is commonly more used in questions with I and we)

This time next week you will be chilling on the beach.

I will visit you every day.

Shall I visit you next Friday?

I will make you an offer you can't refuse.

He won't prepare himself for the test.

form:

will/won't + infinitive

When someone plans something for the future, you use the present continuous future tense.

I'm throwing a party next week.

The neighbours are leaving for France tomorrow.

We are meeting eachother at the trainstation.

When you have plans & intentions for the future. Use 'be going to'.

I  am going to make him an offer he can't refuse.

When you make a prediction you are very sure of. Use 'be going to'.

My daughter is going to be a doctor when she grows up.

Will you clean your room now? No, I am not going to!

When the sentence isn't finished yet, the infinitive is used after 'to'

Write a sentence, using the present continuous, that tells a plan/arrangement for the future.
Example: Tomorrow I am making waffles for my sister.
