Hello. My name is Emma, and in todays lesson, Im going to teach you the four futures. Okay? A lot of you know two futures, I think. A lot of you probably know "will" and "going to". Im going to teach you two more futures today, and teach you how theyre different from one another. Okay?
So lets get started with the present continuous future. So the present continuous is when you have "be" verb, so "I am", "you are", "he is", "she is", "they are", I dont know if I said "we are", "we are" plus the verb and "ing". Okay? So we have "am", the verb, "ing". This is known as the present continuous. Its usually one of the first things you will learn when youre learning English. So a lot of you know the present continuous, and you think: "Oh, present continuous, its taking place now." Youre right, but we can also use it to talk about the future. We use the present continuous to talk about future that is going to happen very, very soon.
So, for example, if you ask me: "Emma, what are you doing this weekend?" Well: "Im hanging out with my friend, Josh, this weekend." Okay? Or I might say: "Im shopping this weekend.", "Im studying this weekend." If you ask me: "What are you doing tonight?" Well, you know, I want to be a good student, so: -"Im studying tonight. Im studying tonight." -"What are you doing next week?" -"Well, next week... Im working next week." Okay? So present continuous is very, very common for when were talking about the future thats going to happen soon. Not future thats going to happen 2,000 years from now or 50 years from now - no, no, thats far future. Were talking about the future thats going to happen in the next couple of days. Okay? So very, very soon future.
We can also use the simple present to talk about the future. So, the simple present is when you take a verb and, you know, its in the basic form, usually you add an "s". If its third-person singular, for example: "I leave", "you leave", "he leaves", "she leaves", "they leave", "we leave". So this is all simple present. In your classes, you probably learned we use the simple present when we talk about routine. We can also use the simple present when were talking about routines in the future. Okay? So, for example... And by this I mean timetables. We use this when were talking about a schedule event; something that is scheduled to happen in the future. So, this usually has to do with when were talking about transportation; trains, airplanes, we can use this tense. We can use it when were talking about TV shows. We can use it when were talking about restaurants opening and closing, or stores, when they open and close. So we use this when were thinking about a schedule or a timetable.
So here are some examples: "The last train leaves at 6pm today." So 6pm hasnt happened yet. Its in the future, but because this is a schedule event, its a timetable event, its a schedule, we can use the simple present. Heres another example: "The restaurant opens at 5pm today." So this hasnt happened yet. Right now, it is 2pm. This is going to happen in the future. But still, I use the simple present because this is a schedule. Okay? Every day the restaurant opens at 5pm. Heres a third example, I like watching TV, imagine I like The Big Bang Theory: "My TV show, The Big Bang Theory, starts at 4pm." So again, its a routine, its a schedule that takes place in the future, but its still a schedule so we can use the simple present here. All right, so these two, even though theyre present tenses, they can be used for the future.
Now lets look at the two verbs we commonly use for the future or we commonly think of as future verbs. "Be going to" + a verb and "will". So, "be going to" + verb: "Im going to study.", "Im going to sleep.", "You are going to watch a video." Okay? These are examples of the "be going to" + verb future. So we use this when were talking about the near future. Similar to this... So its not a future thats very, very far away; its soon, but its a future where we think something is going to happen, and we have evidence that something is going to happen.
