FUTURE TENSES
Simple Future
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
FORM Will
[will + verb]
Examples:
- You will help him later.
- Will you help him later?
- You will not help him later.
FORM Be Going To
[am/is/are + going to + verb]
Examples:
Complete List of Simple Future Forms- You are going to meet Jane tonight.
- Are you going to meet Jane tonight?
- You are not going to meet Jane tonight.
USE 1 "Will" to Express a Voluntary Action
"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.
Examples:
- I will send you the information when I get it.
- I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it.
- Will you help me move this heavy table?
- Will you make dinner?
- I will not do your homework for you.
- I won't do all the housework myself!
- A: I'm really hungry.
B: I'll make some sandwiches. - A: I'm so tired. I'm about to fall asleep.
B: I'll get you some coffee. - A: The phone is ringing.
B: I'll get it.
USE 2 "Will" to Express a Promise
"Will" is usually used in promises.
Examples:
- I will call you when I arrive.
- If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has access to inexpensive health insurance.
- I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party.
- Don't worry, I'll be careful.
- I won't tell anyone your secret.
USE 3 "Be going to" to Express a Plan
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.
Examples:
- He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.
- She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.
- A: When are we going to meet each other tonight?
B: We are going to meet at 6 PM. - I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.
- Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.
- They are going to drive all the way to Alaska.
- Who are you going to invite to the party?
- A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake?
B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.
USE 4 "Will" or "Be Going to" to Express a Prediction
Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the future. Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future. In "prediction" sentences, the subject usually has little control over the future and therefore USES 1-3 do not apply. In the following examples, there is no difference in meaning.
Examples:
- The year 2222 will be a very interesting year.
- The year 2222 is going to be a very interesting year.
- John Smith will be the next President.
- John Smith is going to be the next President.
- The movie "Zenith" will win several Academy Awards.
- The movie "Zenith" is going to win several Academy Awards.
Simple present
We sometimes use the simple present form to discuss future events. Especially when talking about official events that happen at a set time such as timetables, meetings, itineraries, programmes etc.For example:
Q) "What time does the train leave?" A) "It leaves at 17.30."
Q) "What time does the meeting begin tomorrow?" A) "It begins at 8.00am."
Q) "What time do you arrive at the airport tomorrow?" A) "I arrive at 6.30pm."
Using the present continuous for the future
The future continuous tense is the present continuous tense recycled. It is often used to ask about and discuss future arrangements or plans with just the addition of a future time, but you only use it when these arrangements are certain.For example:
Q) What are you doing next week?" A) "I'm working."
Q) What's he doing tomorrow?" A) "He's playing tennis."
The present continuous tense is also used to talk about and make future appointments and arrangements using the words go or come....
For example:
Q) When are you coming to see me?" A) "Next week."
Q) What are you doing tomorrow?" A) "I'm going to the dentist."
...and using verbs of arrival and departure.
"We're arriving in London at 2.30."
"The train leaving from platform one is the 2.45 to Edinburgh."
The Future Continuous (will be doing)
The use of 'will be doing' in a sentence is often referred to as the future continuous. It is used to talk about activities that will be happening at a particular time or over a particular time in the future.For example:
Next week we will be having a party. Can you come?
You can also use it (or the present continuous form) to talk about future plans.
For example:
We will be leaving here at 7.30pm.
Future Perfect
Discussing the future using the present perfect simple form
You can use the present perfect simple form to say that something will have happened by a certain time in the future."This time next year I will have finished my exams."
IMPORTANT
In the Simple Future, it is not always clear which USE the speaker has in mind. Often, there is more than one way to interpret a sentence's meaning.No Future in Time Clauses
Like all future forms, the Simple Future cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Simple Future, Simple Present is used.
Examples:
- When you will arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Not Correct
- When you arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Correct

Now looking back at all we've meant

why must we wait so long before we see
how sad the answers to those questions can be

Relative clauses
Relative clauses
Relative clauses are
clauses starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which, whose, where,
when. They are most often used to define or identify the noun that precedes
them. Here are someexamples:
- Do you know the girl who
started in grade 7 last week?
- Can I have the pencil that
I gave you this morning?
- A notebook is a computer which
can be carried around.
- I won't eat in a restaurant whose
cooks smoke.
- I want to live in a place where
there is lots to do.
- Yesterday was a day when
everything went wrong!
* There is a
relative pronoun whom, which can be used as the object of the relative
clause. For example: My science teacher is a person whom I like very much.
To many people the word whomnows sounds old-fashioned, and it is rarely
used in spoken English.
Relative pronouns are
associated as follows with their preceding noun:
Precedingnoun
|
Relativepronoun
|
Examples
|
a person
|
who(m)/that,
whose
|
- Do you know the girl who ..
- He was a man that .. - An orphan is a child whose parents .. |
a thing
|
which/that,
whose
|
- Do you have a computer which ..
- The oak a tree that .. - This is a book whose author .. |
Note 1: The
relative pronoun whose is used in place of the possessive pronoun. It
must be followed by a noun. Example: There's a boy in grade 8 whose father
is a professional tennis player. (There's a boy in grade 8. His father is a
professional tennis player.)
Note 2: The
relative pronouns where and when are used with place and time
nouns. Examples: FIS is a school where children from more than 50 countries
are educated. 2001 was the year when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers in New
York.
Some relative clauses are
not used to define or identify the preceding noun but to give extra
information about it. Here are someexamples:
- My ESL teacher, who came to
Germany in 1986, likes to ride his mountain bike.
- The heavy rain, which was
unusual for the time of year, destroyed most of the plants in my garden.
- Einstein, who was born in
Germany, is famous for his theory of relativity.
- The boy, whose parents both
work as teachers at the school, started a fire in the classroom.
- My mother's company, which
makes mobile phones, is moving soon from Frankfurt to London.
- In the summer I'm going to
visit Italy, where my brother lives.
Note 1:
Relative clauses which give extra information, as in the example sentences
above, must be separated off by commas.
Note 2: The
relative pronoun that cannot be used to introduce an extra-information
(non-defining) clause about a person. Wrong: Neil Armstrong, that was born in 1930, was the first man to stand on the
moon. Correct: Neil Armstrong, who was born in 1930, was the
first man to stand on the moon.
There are two common
occasions, particularly in spoken English, when the relative pronoun is
omitted:
1. When the pronoun is the
object of the relative clause. In the following sentences the pronoun that can
be left out is enclosed in (brackets):
- Do you know the girl (who/m)
he's talking to?
- Where's the pencil (which) I
gave you yesterday?
- I haven't read any of the books
(that) I got for Christmas.
- I didn't like that girl (that)
you brought to the party.
- Did you find the money (which)
you lost?
Note: You cannot
omit the relative pronoun a.) if it starts a non-defining relative clause, or,
b.) if it is the subject of a defining relative clause. For example, who
is necessary in the following sentence: What's the name of the girl who won
the tennis tournament?
2. When the relative clause
contains a present or past participle and the auxiliary verb to be. In
such cases both relative pronoun and auxiliary can be left out:
- Who's that man (who is)
standing by the gate?
- The family (that is) living in
the next house comes from Slovenia.
- She was wearing a dress (which
was) covered in blue flowers.
- Most of the parents (who were)
invited to the conference did not come.
- Anyone (that is) caught writing
on the walls will be expelled from school.
Relative Examples
Pronombres y frases de relativo
¿Qué es una relative clause? Entre otras cosas, es una estructura gramatical que suele dar problemas a los hispanohablantes. En esta entrega vamos a ver por qué.
Una relative clause (oración de relativo) da más información sobre la persona o cosa de la que uno está hablando. Por ejemplo,
The girls who work at that shop are really friendly.
Does the bus that goes to the airport stop here?
Muchos hispanohablantes cometen el error de repetir el sujeto en frases de este tipo. Por ejemplo,
The girls who they work at that shop are really friendly. X
Does the bus that it goes to the airport stop here? X
Aquí van más ejemplos de este error, y cómo corregirlo:
I have a friend who he works at the airport. X–> I have a friend who works at the airport.
Where are the flowers that they were on the table? X–> Where are the flowers that were on the table?
Estas frases son otra variación sobre este tema:
Did you see the gift that I bought it for your mother? X –> Did you see the gift that I bought for your mother?
There are red wines that you should drink them cold. X –> There are red wines that you should drink cold.
Para simplificar las cosas, yo recomiendo siempre utilizar who para personas y that para cosas, aunque en muchos casos también se puede utilizar that con personas. Por ejemplo, no es incorrecto decir,
The girls that work at that shop…
¿Cuándo utilizamos which, entonces?
Hay otro tipo de relative clause que añade información menos necesaria. Por ejemplo, considera estas dos frases:
My brother who lives in Florida is a teacher.
My brother, who lives in Florida, is a teacher.
En la primera estoy diciendo que de todos mis hermanos, el que vive en Florida es profesor. En este caso, utilizo la relative clause para identificar a la persona de la que estoy hablando.
En la segunda estoy diciendo que mi hermano es profesor, y que, por cierto, vive en Florida. En esta situación utilizo la relative clause para añadir información “de paso”, no para identificar a la persona de la que estoy hablando.
En frases que no se refieren a personas, utilizamos which (y no that) en el segundo tipo de relative clause. Por ejemplo,
The companies that do business in Spain are having financial problemas. (That se utiliza para identificar el grupo de empresas al que se refiere la frase.)
These companies, which do business in Spain, are having financial problems. (Which se utiliza para añadir información menos esencial.)
Si todo esto te parece complicado, hay un truco muy sencillo: utiliza which y no that después de una coma.
Resumiendo…
Lo más importante es no repetir el sujeto en tus relative clauses. En general, utilizawho para personas y that para cosas, pero después de una coma, utiliza which en lugar de that.
