How would you make a sentence talking about the future?

Op welke manieren kan je over de toekomst praten?

Dit kan op een aantal manieren, namelijk door gebruik te maken van:

- present simple

- present continuous

- to be going to + hele werkwoord

- will + hele werkwoord

- shall + hele werkwoord

Future tense: present simple
The test.............(to start) at 9AM.

1. is going to start
2. starts
3. is starting
4. will start

Present simple

You can use the present simple talking about the future when there is a schedule or when there is a specific time slot.

Example:

- Class ends at 9 o'clock.

- The match starts in front of the huge crowd.

future tense: present continuous
I can't wait till the reunion! I.........(to see) old friends after a long time.

1. see
2. am going to see
3. am seeing
4. will see

Present continuous

You can use the present continuous talking about the future when something is going to happen almost certainly. You have organised a few things.

examples:

Unfortunately, Sep isn't coming to the concert.

future: going to + hele werkwoord
Watch out! He...............(to kick) the ball.

1. kicks
2. is kicking
3. will kick

to be going to + hele werkwoord

You can use to be going to + hele werkwoord when you've made plans before a conversation and when you make a prediction WITH evidence:

future: will/shall + hele werkwoord

........we.........(to carry) the bags together?

You use it when you make plans during the conversation or you make a prediction without evidence or based on your opinion:

- I think we will  win the league.

will/shall + hele ww

You can also use it when you make promises (beloftes), spontaneous offers (aanbod), request (verzoek), proposals (voorstel):
