This English lesson explains the difference between WILL, BE GOING TO, and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS when talking about the future.
(BTW, my wife loves my hair 😀)
THE THREE SENTENCES:
- Okay, I'll get my hair cut soon (I made the decision to do this while speaking).
- I'm going to get my hair cut soon (I have the intention to do this but I don't have an appointment)
- I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday (I have an appointment)
FIRST CONDITIONAL:
You can use both WILL and BE GOING TO in the first conditional. Learn more about the first conditional here: • How to Use the First C...
PREDICTIONS
We can use both WILL and BE GOING TO when predicting the future.
- I think it will rain soon
- I think it's going to rain soon
However, if you are basing your prediction on current evidence, use BE GOING TO.
- look at that black cloud. It's going to rain soon!
PRESENT SIMPLE:
We can also use the present simple to talk about the future. This is when something is on a schedule.
- what time does the lesson start?
Learn more about that here: • Using the Present Simp...

I'm a native English speaker and trying to explain how to use Will, going to, and present continuous to a friend who is trying to learn English. We just use it without thinking about it. But I never realized how complicated future tense was.

@learnenglish890 2 жыл бұрын

Future is not a tense. It's time

@brandonly27 2 жыл бұрын

@@learnenglish890 Yeah that's true. Tense refers to verb tense and since the present and future verb tense in English are the same it could be argued that there is no future tense in English. We just use the auxiliary verb will or going to to signify future.

I'm studying to teach ESL and this is one of the best videos I've seen. The explanation is so clear and detailed! Plus, I love how there's no music in the background while you're speaking because I can't concentrate on what someone's saying when there's music. Thank you so much! You've just got a new subscriber. :)

Jack, congratulations. I´ve watched tons of videos about this topic and this is the best one. This mainly because the given examples were easy to understand and overall due to the double repetition of the same example. It helps a lot to cement or root the point you are explaining. So, it would be nice to keep watching and hearing videos like this one. Thanks a lot.

Thank you Jack for making this video. I’ll save it in my library. I’m going to use it as a material for our English grammar lessons. These tenses and their uses are going to give headaches for my Vietnamese students, who, in their native language, don’t have any notions about them. Classes in Việt Nam are reopening early next month, as the government has announced the end of the stay-home period. Stay healthy and motivated. My best wishes to you.
