PRESENT CONTINUOUS
FUTURE SIMPLE
GOING TO
THE WEB
UNIT 10
THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE puts emphasis on
the course or duration of an action.
The present progressive is used for actions going
on in the moment of speaking and for actions
taking place only for a short period of time. It is
also used to express development and actions
that are arranged for the near future.
Present progressive is also known as present
continuous.
Use a form of to be and the infinite
verb plus -ing.
affirmative negative question
I I am playing. I am not playing. Am I playing?
he, she, it He is playing. He is not playing. Is he playing?
you, we, they You are playing. You are not playing. Are you
playing?
USE 1 Now
Use the Present Continuous with Verbs to express the
idea that something is happening now, at this very
moment. It can also be used to show that something is
not happening now.
• Examples:
• You are learning English now.
• You are not swimming now.
• Are you sleeping?
• I am sitting.
• I am not standing.
USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now
In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this
month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we
use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the
process of doing a longer action which is in progress;
however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.
• Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while
eating dinner in a restaurant.)
• I am studying to become a doctor.
• I am not studying to become a dentist.
• I am reading the book Tom Sawyer.
USE 3 Near Future
Sometimes, speakers use the Present
Continuous to indicate that something will or
will not happen in the near future.
• Examples:
• I am meeting some friends after work.
• I am not going to the party tonight.
• Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
• Isn't he coming with us tonight?
USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with
"Always"
The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or
"constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating
or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is
like Simple Present, but with negative emotion.
Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly"
between "be" and "verb+ing."
• Examples:
• She is always coming to class late.
• He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up.
• I don't like them because they are always complaining.
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:
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
