Coach Ethan coming to you from the Citadel Park in Barcelona.

And I'm pretty excited because my parents are going to be coming to Barcelona.

They are arriving on Monday, and we are gonna be renting a house in the north.

Katsina will probably, you know, go visit some villages.

Some medieval villages go to some beaches, eat some delicious food.

I am really excited to walk down ancient streets and really live the history.

So, as you can tell from that little story today, we're talking all about the future tense in English.

And if you are like most English learners, you probably are overusing will.

And so today we're going to show you how to master the three different types of the future, tense in English.

And if you want to take your fluency to the next level, remember to like and subscribe to our channel so we can bring you more fantastic lessons like this every single week.

The truth is most learners speak about the future.

Wrong In school, you were probably taught that in English to speak about the future.

You simply do subject plus will plus the infinitive.

Most learners overused will to speak about the future which can communicate the wrong message.

We used to speak about the future, depending on the situation and what we're trying to communicate, going thio or gonna and will are not alternatives.

Depending on what you're trying to say, you need to use one or the other the president in us which you probably know we often used to communicate something happening in the current moment, for example, I'm going to the store can also be used to talk about the future.

Thes aren't hard rules more like communication guidelines that natives, of course, break sometimes.

And in this video we will discuss how to talk about the future and when to correctly use each future form will going to and the present continuous.

Then, to exemplify this, we will show you some funny scenes from friends.

Finally, we have a quiz to test your learning, so stick around until the end.

For that, we'll use going thio not will for future plans and intentions.

That is when we have already decided to do something.

For example, we are going to meet this Friday to discuss the project.

I'm going to study abroad When I go to college.

Ashley is going to raise the child by herself.

We also use going to for predictions, especially when you concede e or have some evidence.

For example, Barcelona is going to win the game.

Congress is going to vote to impeach the president if he keeps screwing up like this.

I got great grades at school, so I bet I'm gonna get accepted to Harvard.

We use will not going to for instant decisions, promises, offers, future fax or suggestions.

For example, for instant decisions, I'll have the eggs in a cup coffee.

Note that even though it seems like this is happening in the present, we use the future tense for promises we won't tell them in your secret.

If you like, I'll carry your bag for you.

She'll be for the meeting at five like going to.

We can also use will for predictions, but we're guessing or do not have evidence, For example, a price study abroad in London or Toronto.

If we say, for example, I'm going to study abroad in London, then it sounds like a decided plan.

If we say they're going to get married when they already, it seems like they already know when they will be ready and therefore when they will get married.

So although it is not incorrect, it is a strange phrase.

I think she will be the next president if we say she's going to be the next president.

It sounds like she was already elected and just needs to be inaugurated.

That is actually began her term as president.

By the way, don't get too stressed out about telling the difference because this is not a hard rule and four predictions we can use will and going thio pretty interchangeably.

We use present continuous not going thio for future arrangements.

However, the difference is really small and using the two when talking about plans, and they can be used interchangeably.

Will is used when we are not certain about the future plan going to shows that we have decided to do something.

And the present continuous is even more precise, giving the actual future date for the plan.

So, for example, I am fine to India this Saturday with going to We wouldn't include the future date.

I'm going to spend my vacation in India with will.

We would probably include some uncertainty.

I will probably spend my vacation in India or Thailand for another example.

Dan and Layla are getting married next year.

I think Dan and Leila will get married and the last example.

Can you tell me about a future plan you have or might have using these three forms?

Pause now and do that in the comments below.

Then let's continue with some real life examples from friends.

I am just going to get up, go to work and not think about him all day or else.

Will would not work here because it would be strange to not be certain about getting up going to work, etcetera.

And if we want to use present continuous, we should show more specificity.

For example, I'm getting up tomorrow date and going to work.

You show me where the restaurant's gonna be.

It's this cute little place on 10 streets.

She's pregnant with my child, and she and Susan are going to raise the baby.
