Hi, everybody.
-
I'm Esther.
-
For this checkup let's take a look at the will usage for the future simple tense.
-
The first example says, 'Jen and Paul [blank] home soon'
-
with the verb 'go'.
-
Remember, when using 'will' for the future simple tense,
-
it doesn't matter what the subject is.
-
We say 'will' and then the base verb.
-
So here we can say, 'Jen and Paul' or 'They will go home soon'.
-
'I [blank] a scientist after I graduate.'
-
Try filling in the blank with 'be'.
-
Again, we simply say 'will be'.
-
'I will be a scientist after I graduate.'
-
Now try this one, 'We [blank] that because it smells bad.'
-
I want you to use the negative form with the verb 'eat'.
-
Here we say, 'will not eat' or remember we can use the contraction 'won't'.
-
'We will not eat that' or 'We won't eat that because it smells bad'.
-
Now look for the mistake in this sentence.
-
'I will eat a pizza for lunch.'
-
Remember, we need the base form of the verb.
-
'I will eat a pizza for lunch.'
-
'Angie and I will playing a game.'
-
Again we need the base form of the verb.
-
Angie and I will play a game.'
-
And finally, 'Will she be cook dinner?'
-
This is a question.
-
However we need to say, 'Will she cook dinner.'
-
We do not need a 'be' verb here.
-
Let's move on.
-
Let's practice the 'be going to' usage of the future simple tense.
-
'We [blank] going to _blank_ soccer.'
-
I want you to use the verb 'watch'.
-
Remember, for 'be going to' in the future simple tense,
-
we start with the subject and then the 'be' verb.
-
The subject here is 'we'.
-
So we need the 'be' verb – 'are'.
-
'We are going to' and then the base verb 'watch'.
-
'We are going to watch soccer.'
-
'I [blank] going to [blank].'
-
The verb is 'talk'.
-
And I want you to use the negative form.
-
In this case, the subject is 'I'.
-
And so I use the 'be' verb – 'am'.
-
'I am' and then we need 'not'.
-
'I am not going to'
-
Then the base verb 'talk'.
-
'Why [blank] you going to [blank]?'
-
The verb here is 'go'.
-
In a question, especially a 'WH' question, we start with the 'WH' word,
-
and then the 'be' verb.
-
'are' is the correct 'be' verb because the subject is 'you'.
-
Then we have 'going to'.
-
And again, the base form of the verb.
-
'Why are you going to go?'
-
Now try to find the mistake in the next sentence.
-
'You are going to studying at home.'
-
Can you find the mistake?
-
'You are going to' that's correct.
-
But we need the base form of the verb.
-
'You are going to study at home.'
-
'You will be going to learn English.'
-
'You will be going'
-
That sounds a little strange.
-
Remember, we don't need the 'will' here.
-
We're using 'be going to' and we need to change the 'be' verb to match the subject.
-
'You are going to learn English'.
-
Or remember, you can also say, 'You will learn English.
-
and finally 'Is he going to do play soccer.'
-
uh-oh We have two verbs here.
-
'Is he going to' - that's correct.
-
But we have 'do' and 'play'.
-
We don't need both, so we say, 'Is he going to play soccer?'
-
Great job everybody.
-
Let's move on.
-
Great job, everyone.
-
You now have a better understanding of the future simple tense.
-
There's still a lot of practice you need to do because this tense is so important.
-
Keep studying and I'll see you in the next video.
