Talking About The Future Tense



It does not make sense to worry about the future but it does make sense to learn the Future Tense!




When do you use the Future Tense (going to)?

1) Use it when you want to make predictions or guesses about the future.

e.g:
i) People are going to travel differently.
ii) Look at those cars! They are going to crash!

2) Use it when you want to talk about future intentions or plans.

e.g:
i) He is going to hold a conference next week.
