This document is an English lesson for intermediate learners about talking about future plans and schedules. It contains exercises to practice pronouncing and using common phrases for discussing what someone will do in the future, such as "I'm going to...", "I'll...", "Do you think you'll...", and questions using time frames like "What time will you...". Dialogues model conversations where two people ask each other questions about their plans for the day, what time they will wake up, eat, leave home, go to bed, etc. Learners are prompted to practice using these phrases to ask their teacher questions.
This is a practical and easy way to teach Do- does and did as main verb and auxiliary in present and past tense. It works for basic and intermediate English students.
