  1. Will Pink Panther go to the party? Is pink Panther going to the party?

  2. Future Forms

  3. Sue is talking to Mark… We use WILL when we decide to do something at the time of speaking. The speaker has not decided before. The party is a new idea. Great idea. I will invite lots of people. Let’s have a party! SUE MARK

  4. Later that day, Mark meets Thiago. We use GOING TO when we already decided to do something. Mark had already decided to invite lots of people before he spoke to Thiago. Sue and I decided to have a party. We’re going to invite lots of people. MARK THIAGO

  5. When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will` * The President will serve for four years. * The boss won't be very happy. * I'm certain he'll do a good job. * I'm sure you'll like her. WILL I’ll serve for 4 years.

  6. If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as probably, possibly, I think, I hope. * I'll possibly not get back in time. * She'll probably be a great success. * I hope you'll visit me one day. * I think we'll get on well. WI LL

  7. Going to If you are making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use 'going to'. * Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day. * Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours. * The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight. * Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.

  8. Present Continuous for the FUTURE • We use the present continuous to talk • about things that we have already • arranged to do and has already time or day set. • * I've got my ticket. I'm leaving on Thursday. • * I'm seeing Julie at 5 and then I'm having dinner • with Simon. • * He's picking me up at the airport. • The company is giving us a bonus for Christmas.

  9. The walls in this office are dirty and the paint is peeling. They need to be repaited right now! Yes, tomorrow 5 p.m. sharp then. Ok, Sr. You will have it repaitend as soon as possibe. Tomorrow, 5 p.m., is that ok for you Sr?

  10. Mr Derrison is having the walls repainted tomorrow at 5 p.m. Tell the maid to be here at 6 to clean his office.

  11. Present forms for the future My plane leaves at 6 in the morning. The shop opens at 9.30. The sun rises a minute earlier tomorrow. My plane is leaving at 8.30. The shop is closing at 7.00. The sun is rising at 6.32 tomorrow. We use the present simple to talk about events in the future which are 'timetabled'. We can also use the present continuous to talk about these.

  12. In many situations when we talk about future plans we can use either the present continuous or the 'going to' future. However, when we use the present continuous, there is more of a suggestion that an arrangement has already been made and the time has already been set. I'm going to see him. (I still don’t know when) I'm seeing him. ( I already know when)

  13. The simple presentis used when a future event is part of a programme or time-table. Notice the difference between: We're havinga meeting next Monday. We have a meeting next Monday. (we have a meeting every Monday, it's on the time-table.)

  14. Easier now ?
