  • Hi there. My name is Ronnie and I'm going to teach you English today we're going

  • to talk about something that everyone loves to talk about right now

  • The future right now the way the world is the future is not looking too bright

  • Is it

  • Never mind all that it doesn't matter it will come about I'm sure

  • And so we're going to talk about the future tense and we can speak about

  • Things that happened in the past things that happened before. Things that are that

  • Happening right now and also things that are going to happen

  • This is when we use the future tense so we actually have two and ways to talk

  • About the future

  • The first one is using "Will" so you can say tomorrow I will eat

  • Yes. I want to eat I decided tacos

  • So tomorrow I will eat tacos.

  • Maybe you want to talk about your friends

  • Maybe tomorrow your friend is not going to eat tacos

  • Your friend is going to eat Pasta in that case we can use She for a girl

  • Or we can use He for men always remember She's for girl.

  • He's for boy. She will eat pasta

  • He how about your father what is your father going to eat tonight?

  • hmm... He's going to eat hamburgers

  • He's going to eat hamburgers.

  • Oh! Oh!

  • So

  • I've just told you that in the future tense we can use "will" he

  • Sorry. I will eat tacos and then I said she will eat pasta and then I said he is going to eat hamburgers

  • Are you confused? Don't worry. If you look at the grammar book it will tell you

  • Different things. I've read many grammar books that are all really exciting to

  • And and every grammar book tells a different thing

  • Some people say that "will" is stronger than "going to", but in a different grammar book

  • It says that "going to" is stronger than will

  • So who's right it doesn't matter who's right

  • What matters is that you know when and how to use them

  • So when we use will with He/She/I/We and They we do not need to change anything

  • These all stay the same I will She will He will

  • This is where it gets tricky if you want to use "going to" you have to change this verb

  • Okay. this is the basic to be verb

  • So do you know what the basic to be verb is that we use with "i"

  • Think about it..

  • I am okay. so we're going to use "going to"

  • I can say I am going to if you want to make it shorter

  • You say I'm going to...

  • If we use he which is the boy

  • Or she girl we have to use "is"

  • Okay

  • So now the way to make this one shorter or more natural

  • Does anyone know? we simply say he's or she's going to

  • So we said I am, He is or She is

  • We shorten to I'm, He's or She's

  • We are going to use "going to" now what about "we" does anyone remember what the to be form

  • Of the verb is we use with "we"

  • It is "Are"

  • We also use Are with They. We are going to the park.

  • They are going to the park. You're going to the park to make these one shorter

  • We can change it to "We're", "They're",

  • And "You're". okay. so let's just add in our future tense

  • By the way this dot..dot..dot.. means you get to fill in whatever you want

  • Ok so We, They, and You ARE cases to "We're going to" "They're going to" and "You're going to"

  • When we use

  • "I". You've to say "I" He's/She's going to okay.

  • And the other future tense is "will" now as I mentioned before every text book

  • Says something different about the strength and when and why you should use and when

  • Sorry we're going to all right there's one rule and I full don't like to follow

  • Very many rules myself, but this is one that I think a little bit handy a good tip

  • We will use "will" and when we do something very quickly without thinking about it

  • For example if I'm sitting at my house and my mom my dad my two brothers and

  • My two sisters and I are all home and the phone rings. Hi Hello

  • I'll get it!!

  • Okay

  • I didn't say i'm going to get it

  • That makes it seem like it's going to take me a long time

  • Hold on i'm going to get it now

  • You gotta pick that phone up right away. I'll get it..

  • Anyone of you who played volleyball

  • When you're playing volleyball and the ball is coming at you. you're not going to say

  • No that's good i'm gonna get. You say its mine I'll get it and you get it

  • We use this when there's a very short time to think

  • Okay.. so just use "Will" you can remember it when you're short of thinking time or your decision is made

  • Quickly.

  • So what are you going to do tonight

  • I don't know what I'm going to do, but it sure will be fun. If you want to check out
