4. Your textbook makes a distinction
between the “will” future and the
“going to” future.
Feel free to study the note on page
35, but the difference between “will”
and “going to” is not a very
important thing to worry about.
1.
5. Use will be/going to be + base
form + -ing to describe an action
that will be in progress at a
certain time in the future.

9. You can use the present perfect
progressive ( = present perfect
continuouus) to talk about a
future action or event that has
already been arranged.

11. In a complex sentence that takes
place in the future, use future
tense in the independent clause
and simple present tense in the
dependent clause:

action, state or event that will
happen before a certain time in
the future.

perfect in the progressive:
