Introduction

Future simple we use will to talk about the future: to say what we believe will happen. (Hopes
and expectations).

The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the future progressive tense, is a
verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future and continue for an expected
length of time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the present participle (the root
verb + -ing).

Key Goals

 To know the different types of artcles and how to use then in different situations
 To learn a basic grammar about future simple and future continuos

Articles in English

First the good news: There are only three articles in English:

1. A,

2. An and

3. The

Types of Artcles

There are two types of articles Indefinite and Definite.

• Indefinite articles

A and an: are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the
person you are communicating with, and are used before singular countable nouns and
generalizations about commonnouns.

For example:

• My family has a dog;

• An apple is red

A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned
before.

For example

• I saw an elephant this morning;

• I ate a banana for lunch.

A and an are also used when talking about our profession

For example

• I am an English teacher.

• I am a builder.

Definete artcle – The

We use the when we know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person
/thing we are talking about.

For Example:

• The apple you ate was rotten.

• Did you lock the car?

We should also use the when we have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.

For Example:

• Shes got two children a girl and a boy, the girl is eight and the boy is fourteen

We use the to talk about geographical points on the globe.

For Example:

• The north pole.

• The equator.

We use the to talk about rivers, oceans and seas.

For Example:

• The Nile.

• The Pacific.

• The English channel.

We also use the before certain nouns when we know there is olny one of a particular
thing.

For Example:

• The rain.

• The sun.

• The wind.

• The world.

Future Simple

Simple future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two
forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different
meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and
practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific
time in the future.

FORM WILL

[Will + verb]

Examples:

• You will help him later.

• Will you help him later?

• You will not help him later.

FORM BE GOING TO

[Am/is/are + going to + verb]

Examples:

• You are going to meet Jane tonight.

• Are you going to meet Jane tonight?

• You are not going to meet Jane tonight.

USE 1 "Will" to Express a Voluntary Action

"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one
the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's
complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or
volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to
voluntarily do something.

Examples:

• I will send you the information when I get it.

• I will translate the email, so that Mr. Smith can read it.

• Will you help me move this heavy table?

USE 2 "Will" to Express a Promise

"Will" is usually used in promises.

Examples:

• I will call you when I arrive.

• If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has access to
inexpensive health insurance.

• I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party.

USE 3 "Be going to" to Express a Plan

"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to
do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.

Examples:

• He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.

• She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.

• When are we going to meet each other tonight?

Future continuous

Future continuous has two different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing."
Unlike simple future forms, future continuous forms are usually interchangeable.

FORM FUTURE CONTINUOUS WITH "will"

[Will be + present participle]

Examples:

• You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.

• Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?

• You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.

FORM FUTURE CONTINUOUS WITH "be going to”

[Am/is/are + going to be + present participle]

Examples:
7
• You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.

• Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?

• You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.

Conclusion

And Future simple we use will to talk about the future: to say what we believe will happen.
(Hopes and expectations). The future continuous tense, sometimes also referred to as the
future progressive tense, is a verb tense that indicates that something will occur in the future
and continue for an expected length of time. It is formed using the construction will + be + the
present participle (the root verb + -ing).
