There are several ways to talk about the future in English. It´s important to know them because we can express very specific ideas. Check out the following dialogue where we use WILL in different ways.
Marta - Hey guys! 1 Do you think we'll pass this course with such a crazy teacher?
Rafa - 2 I promise I´ll kill Manny, if I fail. However, it won´t be easy because he´s a fast
runner.
Maria - 3 If you kill Manny, you´ll have to kill me as well. He's all right.
Marina - Don´t worry Rafa. 4 I'll help you kill him, I hate him too.
Julián - I know what we can do to pass the course! 5 I´ll ask my brother, who happens to be
very good at English, to give us a hand.
Álvaro - You know that studying hard is not one of my favourite things in the world. But,
6 I promise I´ll try my best.
We have used WILL to express the following future ideas:
1 a simple future prediction
2 and 3 a first conditional sentence
4 an offer
5 a spontaneous decision
6 a promise
Our next post will be about the way we BE GOING TO and PRESENT CONTINUOUS to talk about the future. Goodbye for now.
