talkaboutthefuture
• The "present continuous" is used to refer to plans or
agreements about future events. It involves the suggestion
that more than one person is involved in them and that a
certain degree of prior preparation has already been given.
For example:
• Is she seeing him tomorrow?
• He isn't working next week.
• They aren't leaving until the end of next year.
• We are staying with friends when we get to Boston
Present Continuous.

Goingto.
• The use of "going to" to refer to future events suggests a very
strong link to the present. The precise moment is not relevant,
it is after the now, but the attitude implies that said event
depends on something we know about the current situation.
"Going to" is mostly used to talk about our plans and
intentions, or to make predictions based on current evidence.
In everyday speech, "going to" is often shortened to "gonna",
especially in American English, although it is never written
that way.
For example:
• I think Nigel and Mary are going to have a party next week.
• We are going to have dinner together tomorrow.
• Aren't you going to stay at the library until your report is
finished?
Will
• The "simple future" refers to a time after the current one and
expresses facts or certainties. In this case, there is no room for
attitude. In this case it helps us to predict a future event,
express a decision, general predictions based on opinions.
• Examples:
• Come on, I will help you sort the files.
• You won't finish it in just one day.
• It will rain tomorrow anyway.
• I will do it tomorrow.
Note: There are certain words that allow you to identify the
intention of the speaker to express an opinion or an assumption.
The most frequently used indicators with the future simple in
English are: I think, probably or perhaps.
Shall.
• The modal verb shall is an auxiliary verb that is used in the
affirmative to ask for an opinion on something. It is used
mainly with the personal pronouns 'I' and 'we'. It also serves
to form the future tense like 'will', and its short forms or
contractions are also the same
• For example:
Shall we call your mom?
Shall we buy the groceries today?
Shall I pay the bills now?

Different structures to talk about the future

  • 2. • The "present continuous" is used to refer to plans or agreements about future events. It involves the suggestion that more than one person is involved in them and that a certain degree of prior preparation has already been given. For example: • Is she seeing him tomorrow? • He isn't working next week. • They aren't leaving until the end of next year. • We are staying with friends when we get to Boston Present Continuous.
  • 4. Goingto. • The use of "going to" to refer to future events suggests a very strong link to the present.
