Today is the last class for BEL260 for this semester. in this class, Nabila, Amirah, Edlina, and Baini, do a presentation about Future Tense.
SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE
RULES :
1) Used to refer actions or events that will happen in the future.
I’m sure it will rain this afternoon.
2) Used with will to make predictions or refer to events which we think are highly possible in the future.
Manchester United will beat all the other teams to win the FA Cup this year.
(predictions)
3) Used with “will” to refer to something which we decide to do at the time of speaking.
Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.
4) Used with “be going to” for actions which we have already planned to do in the future and events which we think are possible in the future.
Asian share markets are going to perform better at the end of the year because of brighter prospects in the US economy.
For example :
· I will help.
· I will not help.
· Will I help?
· I am going to leave.
· I am not going to leave.
· Am I going to leave?
FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE
Ø A continuous action that will take place at a
certain time in future.
Ø How to form:
will/ shall + be + infinitive + ing
Ø Example:
The girl will be doing her homework at
8.00pm tonight.
FUTURE PERFECT TENSE
RULES :
Ø Used to refer action or situation which will be completed by a definite time in the future.
EXAMPLE:
Our train will have reached Bangkok by midday tomorrow.
Ø Use already and just to refer to action or situations which will be finished by an approximate time in the future.
EXAMPLE:
By march next year, we will have already received the loan for our new house.
· She will have stopped.
· She will not have stopped.
· Will she have stopped?
· They are going to have stopped.
· They are not going to have stopped.
· Are they going to have stopped?
FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSE
How do we use the Future Perfect Continuous Tense?
We use the future perfect continuous tense to talk about a long action before some point in the future. Look at these examples :
v I will have been working here for ten years next week.
v He will be tired when he arrives. He will have been travelling for 24 hours.
On today’s class, I’m also very sad. Our class will miss our lovely lecturer. Thanks to Miss Zu for teaching us all this time. I will miss u... MUUUAAHH! J
