Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English on how to use the future simple tense.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be learning how and when to use the future simple tense.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to some useful sentences on how to use this tense.
So let’s start!
Woman: Do you know how to use the future simple? Listen and learn.
Woman: The future simple, is formed with the auxiliary verb “will” + bare infinitive in the affirmative form. (N.B. it’s contracted form is I’ll etc.) We use “won’t” + bare infinitive in the negative form. And to ask questions we use “Will” + subject + the bare infinitive.
Now listen to these examples:
Man: I will go to the cinema next weekend.
Man: I won’t watch a horror film.
Man: Will you come with me?
Woman: We use “Will” + verb to talk about our future intentions, usually when we have no plan or it’s a spontaneous decision.
For example:
Man: Brrh! The weather has changed, it’s cold in here.
Woman: I’ll close the window.
Woman: We also use “will” to talk about future predictions, when sentences start with “I think”, “I’m sure”, “I hope” etc.
For example:
Woman: Do you think you’ll pass the exam?
Man: I hope I will pass.
Woman: Now let’s listen to these words in the dialogue: pay attention to how they are used.
Woman: What’s the weather forecast for tomorrow?
Man: It says it will rain again.
Woman: Oh no! Will it rain at the weekend?
Man: I’m not sure just one moment. No, it says it will be sunny on Saturday.
Woman: I hope it’ll be sunny, I’m sick of this cold weather.
Man: Well, if it’s sunny we’ll go to the beach.
Woman: You’re joking! If it’s sunny we’ll work in the garden.
Man: Why?
Woman: Because it’s a mess.
Man: Urgh! Now I hope it will rain again.
Woman: Ok, we won’t work in the garden, but we’ll just have to see how the weather is before we make any plans.
Man: OK
Woman: If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic. Thank you for using the EnglishBlog.
