FUTURE TENSE
In Spanish we have just one kind of future tense
but in English they have several forms to talk
about the future. (if it is something planned or
not or if it is a near or a far away future)
To talk about the future you have to use these
forms:.
– BE GOING TO
– WILL
– PRESENT SIMPLE
– PRESENT CONTINOUS
BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE

Future facts (long future facts)
BE GOING TO + INFINITIVE
• As you can see you have the verb “BE” so it is clear that
you have to conjugate it. (And you all already know
how to do it)
• You have to be aware because you need to add a verb
in the infinitive form, this is the main verb , the verb
you are going to use in the future form.
I’m going to see the doctor next Monday
She is not going to pass the exam, she hasn’t studied at all
What are you going to do next Friday?
Is your brother going to come to the party? No, he isn’t *
WILL
• It is very easy to conjugate because it acts as a modal
verb. I mean it is “sacred/untouchable”, it can not be
changed. It must be followed (ALWAYS!!if not it doesn’t
have any sense) by an INFINITIVE form
• Its negative form is WON’T and it follows the same
rules
She will pass the exam, I promise
If I win the lottery I will travel to New York
Will you see Peter at the match? No, I won’t
