Future Mini-dialogues

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  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.
