OTHER WAYS OF EXPRESSING THE FUTURE The simple present and present progressive are also used to express future time. These are often used used in connection with schedules. The train leaves at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. She is meeting a new client at six o’clock in the evening and she is travelling by byke through the forest.

FUTURE PROGRESSIVE This tense is used to describe an event or action that will occur over a period of time at a specific point in the future. They will be sailing in the Atlantic ocean by the time you arrive at the Island.

THE FUTURE PERFECT This tense is used to describe an event or action that will be completed before another event or time in the future. We will have finished the exam by the time class ends tomorrow.
