⚡️Further reading on future forms and uses⚡️



♦️ Spontaneous (unplanned) future decisions (will) ♦️

We use "will" to express a decision that we make spontaneously in the present moment.

Examples:

- (The phone rings) I’ll answer it.

- Oh, and I'll also take a kilo of oranges please.



♦️ future facts (will) ♦️
- We can use "will" to describe future facts.

Examples:

- Tomorrow, the sun will rise at 8:30 and will set at 5 PM.

- Who will host the next World Cup?



♦️Predictions based on opinion (will) or based on a present situation (be going to) ♦️

We can use "will" or "be going to" make predictions:

(1) to express opinions about things that may happen in the future; or

(2) to make assumptions about the future based on something that's happening now (or a present situation).

We often use "think" to express an opinion.

Examples:

- I think it will rain tomorrow. / It'll rain tomorrow. (an opinion )

- The clouds are coming out... It's going to rain. (an assumption based on the clouds)

- It will be a boring meeting as usual.

- I think it’s going to be hot today.



♦️ To express a future plan (be going to) ♦️

We use "be going to + infinitive" to describe an arrangement that we plan to do in the future.

This can be tricky for learners. We do not use "will" for things that we've already arranged or decided to do. As noted above, we use "will" for things that we decide to do right at that very moment of speaking.

(Please note that we can either use "be going to" or the present continuous to express a future plan). The present continuous and "be going to + infinitive" are formed in a similar way).

- We're going to see a movie tonight.

- After the movie, we're going to have dinner at the pizzeria.

- We're all going to meet in front of the cinema at 7 PM.




♦️Future plans / decisions with the main verb "be" (will) ♦️

As noted above, we use "be going to" to express future actions that are planned in advance and "will" for spontaneous decisions. However, if the main verb is "be," we can use "will" to express a future action - even if it is for a firm plan or decision made in advance.

Examples:

- We'll be in Washington tomorrow for a conference.

- Will you be at home later?

- I won't be at the office next week.




♦️ To express willingness / unwillingness (will) ♦️
We can use "will" to show that we are willing or voluntarily agreeing (or not willing or agreeing) to do something in the future.

This includes making promises that we will do something and making requests or asking people if they are willing to do something.

Examples:

- I will get the children after school.

- He won't do it for free.

- Will they deliver the furniture to my home?

- I promise I will come home by midnight.



♦️To make an invitation (will)♦️
We can use "will" in the future simple tense to invite people to future events.

- Will you marry me?

- Yes! Will you come with me to tell my parents the good news?

- I'm engaged! Will you come to my bachelorette party?


♦️To make an offer or suggestion (shall) ♦️
"Shall" is used with the "I" and "we" forms to make offers and suggestions using questions. (Note: We don't use "shall" for "you / he / she / it / they" when we make offers and suggestions).

Examples:

- Shall I get something for dinner?

- Shall I help you carry those heavy boxes?



♦️Asking opinions and advice (shall) ♦️
Shall is often used with "I" and "we" to ask about someone's opinion or advice (usually about an offer or suggestion.)

- What shall I wear to my interview?

- Who shall we invite to the meeting?


♦️Final Note: Other ways to talk about the future:
We can also talk about the future without using a future verb tense.

For example, as noted above (for planned events), we can use the present continuous to talk about something that we have a plan or intention to do in the future.

Also, the simple present is used for scheduled (timetabled) events in the future.

📚 *let the cat out of the bag*

✍🏾 *Meaning*
If you let the cat out of the bag, you let someone know a secret.

❗️ *For example*

🔸We'd planned a surprise party for Donna, but some guy she works with let the cat out of the bag, so now she knows.

🔸Don't forget that this is a secret, so whatever you do, don't let the cat out of the bag.

▫️ *Origin*
Possibly related to the fact that in England in the Middle Ages, piglets were usually sold in bags at markets. Sometimes, someone would try to cheat a buyer by putting a cat in one of the bags instead of a piglet. And if someone let the cat out of the bag, the fraudster's secret was revealed.
