Four ways to talk about the future.

Present continuous	dingen gaan zeker gebeuren	I 'm leaving for Paris tomorrow.
to be going to	plan gemaak t , afspraak nog niet	We 're going to watch Madagaskar in the vacation!

Present simple

We use the present simple for things that are on a timetable (rooster). The happen at the same time every day / week.

• The bus leaves at five o'clock.
• We have English class this morning.

Present continuous

We use the present continuous for appointments and arrangements I have already made.

• I am visiting my grandparents next week.
• She is seeing the doctor tomorrow.

Going to

You want to do something, but have not made any arrangements yet, OR you are making a prediction (voorspelling) based on evidence.

• Look at those clouds, it is going to rain soon.
• We are going to eat pizza tonight.

Will / shall

We use will when we make a decision (beslissing) without having planned it, OR to make a prediction without evidence.

• I think the weather will be nice tomorrow.
• Wait! I will help you clean that mess.

Ontkenningen en vraagzinnen

Bij ontkennende zinnen plaats je het woord "not" tussen "will" en het werkwoord.

They will not arrive on time. OF They won't arrive on time.

Bij vraagzinnen komt "will" vooraan in de zin. 

Will they arrive on time?

Will you help me, please?

Will or shall?

Will and shall mean the same, but we can only use shall when you have a question with the subject is I or we.

• Shall I watch a movie tonight?
• Shall we have a break?

BUT:

• Will you come to the party?
