Unit eight covered future tense. The future tense is the most complex in the English language. The most common forms are future simple, future continuous, future perfect, future perfect continuous, ?be going? + infinitive, present simple, and present continuous. Future simple is Shall/will plus a verb. It is used for future facts/certainties, promises, predictions, assumptions/speculations, spontaneous decisions, and threats. Shall is generally for making suggestions, invitations, etc. Will usually expresses a stronger intention, coercion, or determination than shall. Common mistakes with future simple is confusion with ?be going to? form. Some teaching ideas are fortune telling, palm reading, predicting future changes, etc. Future continuous uses the form subject + will + be + verb + ing (present participle). It is used to say something will be in progress at a particular moment in the future, predict the present, polite inquiries referring to other people's plans, and referring to future events which are fixed or decided. Common mistakes with this form are missing parts of the structure. Some teaching ideas are arranging diaries/dates and illustrative situations. The future perfect is will + have + past participle. It is used to say something will have been done, completed or achieved by a certain time in the future. Future perfect continuous is will + have + been + verb + ing and is used to say how long something will have continued by a certain time. ?Be going? + infinitive is formed by verb ?to be? + ?going to? + base form of a verb. This is used form intentions, predictions based on present evidence, and plans. Present simple is used for future tense to suggest a more formal situation, for timetables and schedules, and to suggest a more impersonal tone. Present continuous is used for future tense for definite arrangements and decisions/plans without a time frame.
