Hi, I'm Rebecca.
2
00:00:02,190 --> 00:00:08,840
In this class, you will learn the easiest
way to talk about the future in English, and
3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,340
that is by using the word "will".
4
00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:18,950
When we use the word "will", we are, in fact,
using the future simple tense.
5
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:23,869
This class is part of a series created by
www.engvid.com to help you master all of the
6
00:00:23,869 --> 00:00:29,480
English verb tenses step by step so that you
can communicate more fluently in English.
7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,500
So, when we talk about the future, what do
we mean?
8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:39,210
We're talking about anything that happens
after now.
9
00:00:39,210 --> 00:00:44,640
For example, it could be something that happens
five minutes now from now or 50 years from
10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,800
now.
11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,019
All of that is the future.
12
00:00:49,019 --> 00:00:55,280
And in English, we have many tenses and ways
to talk about the future.
13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,409
Some of them are basic, and some of them are
more advanced.
14
00:00:59,409 --> 00:01:06,119
So, let's start by looking at some basic ways
to talk about the future in English.
15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:07,579
Alright.
16
00:01:07,579 --> 00:01:19,710
So, three basic ways are by using the phrase
"going to", by using the present continuous
17
00:01:19,710 --> 00:01:27,240
for the future, or by using "will", which
is what our class today is going to be focusing
18
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,490
on.
19
00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:32,830
So, how can we think about this?
20
00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:35,759
Let's look up here first.
21
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:43,880
If you're talking about some formal situation,
something more official and formal in business,
22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,760
in academics, or even in a social situation
with someone you don't know very well, for
23
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,229
example, if it's formal, it's very easy.
24
00:01:54,229 --> 00:01:59,969
Then, all you do is you use "will" to talk
about the future, okay?
25
00:01:59,969 --> 00:02:01,369
That's it.
26
00:02:01,369 --> 00:02:05,659
Now, what if the situation is a little more
informal?
27
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:11,260
Either when you're speaking if when you're
writing, same thing here.
28
00:02:11,260 --> 00:02:17,250
In speaking and writing, if it's formal, we're
going to use "will", but if it's an informal
29
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:24,420
situation, maybe it's more casual, it's more
friendly, it's with people that you know,
30
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:31,370
then you have to consider two points: is the
thing you're talking about, the action, is
31
00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:35,230
it something that is planned in advance?
32
00:02:35,230 --> 00:02:40,880
Or is it something unplanned and happening
at the moment of speaking?
33
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,620
Let me explain.
34
00:02:42,620 --> 00:02:50,560
So, if it's planned, then we would use this
phrase "going to", or we would use present
35
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,560
continuous.
36
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:58,120
For example, we might say "I'm going to meet
John tomorrow.", because you have a plan to
37
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,120
do that.
38
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,240
You may have an appointment to do that.
39
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,460
Or you could say "I'm meeting John tomorrow.".
40
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:06,870
Same thing, okay?
41
00:03:06,870 --> 00:03:08,290
Same thing.
42
00:03:08,290 --> 00:03:14,650
It's planned in advance, but if it's unplanned,
that means what?
43
00:03:14,650 --> 00:03:16,300
What do we mean by unplanned?
44
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,500
It just came up.
45
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:24,100
Let's suppose you're at a meeting and someone
says "Hey, could you meet John tomorrow?",
46
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:27,411
and you say "Okay, I'll meet John tomorrow.".
47
00:03:27,411 --> 00:03:33,460
So, you just decided at the moment of speaking,
and it's an informal situation because you
48
00:03:33,460 --> 00:03:34,710
know John.
49
00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:43,080
So then, we can use "will" and of course,
as we already said, if it's a formal situation,
50
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,540
then we use "will".
51
00:03:44,540 --> 00:03:49,590
Planned, unplanned, doesn't matter, it's a
formal situation, then we would say something
52
00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:54,280
like "I will meet Mr. Williams tomorrow.",
okay?
53
00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,330
So, this is your basic overview and, of course,
we'll be looking at all of this in more detail
54
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:04,540
so you really understand it very well and
can use it correctly yourself.
55
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:10,540
Now, let's look at when we can use the future
simple tense in real life.
56
00:04:10,540 --> 00:04:15,150
As you know, we can use it in formal situations.
57
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:19,980
For example: The ceremony will begin at 8:00.
58
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:26,850
Okay, it's an official ceremony, maybe it's
an awards ceremony, a graduation ceremony,
59
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:32,290
so it's something formal and official, so
we can use it in that context, right?
60
00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:37,990
The ceremony will begin, there's our future.
61
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:41,190
We can use it in planned events.
62
00:04:41,190 --> 00:04:48,080
For example, you call to make an appointment
and the receptionist says "Okay, the doctor
63
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,100
will see you at 3:00.", so this is something
that's planned.
64
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:55,230
It's an appointment, right?
65
00:04:55,230 --> 00:04:59,510
The doctor will see, alright?
66
00:04:59,510 --> 00:05:00,790
Good.
67
00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:05,060
We can also use it very often to talk about
business.
68
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:10,590
For example: ABC Company will open a new factory,
alright?
69
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:16,270
Here we have "will open", so this is like
an official announcement.
70
00:05:16,270 --> 00:05:18,270
It's a little more formal, right?
71
00:05:18,270 --> 00:05:23,620
So, we see that, we see "will" being used
in its full form.
72
00:05:23,620 --> 00:05:29,900
Next, we can also use it when predicting something
about the future.
73
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:37,050
For example: Experts say food prices will
rise.
74
00:05:37,050 --> 00:05:39,690
We see here, "will rise".
75
00:05:39,690 --> 00:05:40,690
Okay?
76
00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:47,610
They're making a prediction about what might
happen in the future.
77
00:05:47,610 --> 00:05:52,680
We can also use it, as we saw, for informal
situation.
78
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,690
For example: I'll call you later.
79
00:05:56,690 --> 00:06:01,750
Now we see that when it's informal we're using
that contraction, we'll look at that more
80
00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:07,780
in a short while, but you can notice it here:
I'll call you later.
81
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:11,490
Same thing in formal, right?
82
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:16,960
You can also use it for something that's not
planned in advance informally.
83
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,000
For example: Hey, I'll give you a ride to
the subway.
84
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,310
Let's suppose you and your colleague are just
stepping out of the office and suddenly it
85
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:32,350
starts pouring rain or there's a big snowstorm
and you have a car and your colleague doesn't,
86
00:06:32,350 --> 00:06:39,990
so you say "Hey, I'll give", okay?
87
00:06:39,990 --> 00:06:45,050
Next, you can use it for ordering food.
88
00:06:45,050 --> 00:06:50,240
For example, when you order foo din a restaurant,
you don't always decide in advance what you're
89
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,640
going to order, you look at the menu, you
see what you feel like, and then you order
90
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,640
something.
91
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,950
So, you're kind of making that decision on
the spot.
92
00:06:59,950 --> 00:07:06,610
So, you might say something like "I'll have
a small cheese pizza."
93
00:07:06,610 --> 00:07:08,170
I'll have, okay?
94
00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:15,180
So, we can use it, as I said, to talk about
like, the immediate future, right away, because
95
00:07:15,180 --> 00:07:18,220
you're ordering right now.
96
00:07:18,220 --> 00:07:22,410
You can also use it when you're promising
something about the future.
97
00:07:22,410 --> 00:07:27,250
For example: I'll return your book tomorrow.
98
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:28,770
Okay?
99
00:07:28,770 --> 00:07:30,980
I'll return.
100
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:36,340
Next, you can use it when you're offering
something.
101
00:07:36,340 --> 00:07:39,389
For example: I'll help you finish the report.
102
00:07:39,389 --> 00:07:42,160
I see that you've got a lot of work left.
103
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,210
Hey, I'll help you finish the report, okay?
104
00:07:46,210 --> 00:07:48,270
I'll help.
105
00:07:48,270 --> 00:07:54,820
Next, we can also use it lots of times to
talk about possibility.
106
00:07:54,820 --> 00:08:01,490
We're not sure, but it's possible that something
will happen or that we will do something.
107
00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:07,180
For example: Maybe I'll take a break and watch
a movie tonight.
108
00:08:07,180 --> 00:08:11,910
Maybe somebody's been studying very hard or
working very hard and they just want to relax,
109
00:08:11,910 --> 00:08:14,280
and they say you know what?
110
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,570
Maybe I'll take a break.
111
00:08:16,570 --> 00:08:20,400
So, this "maybe" is possibility.
112
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,300
Uncertainty about the future, so then also
we can use the future simple tense.
113
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:33,289
Now, let's look at how we form the future
simple tense and I really think you're going
114
00:08:33,289 --> 00:08:37,329
to love this part because it's so easy.
115
00:08:37,329 --> 00:08:38,800
Let's see how it's done.
116
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:45,149
So, I've divided the board into three for
positive sentences, negative sentences, and
117
00:08:45,149 --> 00:08:46,420
for questions.
118
00:08:46,420 --> 00:08:53,439
So, the basic structure that you're going
to follow for a positive sentence is that
119
00:08:53,439 --> 00:09:05,470
you take the subject, which is I, You, We,
They, He, She, It, etc., + will + the verb
120
00:09:05,470 --> 00:09:07,709
in its base form.
121
00:09:07,709 --> 00:09:09,449
That's the interesting part.
122
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:12,079
You don't have to change the verb at all.
123
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:18,079
In many languages, in the future tense, you
have to change the entire verb, sometimes
124
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:22,730
for every different subject, but in English,
no, you don't.
125
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:27,420
This is one of those times when English is
actually easier than many other languages.
126
00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:29,339
So, let's see how to do it.
127
00:09:29,339 --> 00:09:35,899
So, in a positive sentence, we would say "I
will work.", alright?
128
00:09:35,899 --> 00:09:40,641
This is our base form of the verb and all
we're doing is we're taking the subject, we're
129
00:09:40,641 --> 00:09:45,680
using "will" before it, and the verb doesn't
change.
130
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,269
You say it after me: I will work.
131
00:09:50,269 --> 00:09:53,399
You will work.
132
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:56,129
We will work.
133
00:09:56,129 --> 00:09:58,860
They will work.
134
00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:01,470
He will work.
135
00:10:01,470 --> 00:10:02,660
She will work.
136
00:10:02,660 --> 00:10:05,180
And, it will work.
137
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:06,449
Okay?
138
00:10:06,449 --> 00:10:08,220
That's basically it.
139
00:10:08,220 --> 00:10:11,170
Now, what happens when we make it negative?
140
00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:12,589
It's very simple.
141
00:10:12,589 --> 00:10:16,019
We're just adding the word "not", okay?
142
00:10:16,019 --> 00:10:17,819
I will not work.
143
00:10:17,819 --> 00:10:19,490
He will not work.
144
00:10:19,490 --> 00:10:21,080
They will not work tomorrow.
145
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,080
Okay?
146
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,080
Like that.
147
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,259
Very simple.
148
00:10:24,259 --> 00:10:28,480
Then, to make a question, we have to change
the order.
149
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,320
So, we say "Will I work tomorrow?"
150
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,860
I don't know.
151
00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:35,420
Will you work?
152
00:10:35,420 --> 00:10:38,540
Will we work?
153
00:10:38,540 --> 00:10:41,170
Will they work?
154
00:10:41,170 --> 00:10:43,389
Will he work?
155
00:10:43,389 --> 00:10:45,399
Will she work?
156
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:47,329
Will it work tomorrow?
157
00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:48,389
Okay?
158
00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:50,220
So, that's the question.
159
00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:55,709
You're just changing the order, but there
are not - there are no other special changes.
160
00:10:55,709 --> 00:11:01,939
That's basically it, it's really as straightforward
and simple as you could wish.
161
00:11:01,939 --> 00:11:08,430
Now, here are some other points to keep in
mind when we're using this tense.
162
00:11:08,430 --> 00:11:13,199
Very often, we can use some expressions before
this.
163
00:11:13,199 --> 00:11:15,869
You don't have to, but you can.
164
00:11:15,869 --> 00:11:27,100
For example, you could say "I think they will
work tomorrow.", or I believe he'll work tomorrow.
165
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:35,589
I suppose she'll work tomorrow, or I imagine
we will work tomorrow.
166
00:11:35,589 --> 00:11:37,990
I don't know, I don't think it's a holiday.
167
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:43,749
I imagine that we will work tomorrow, like
that, okay?
168
00:11:43,749 --> 00:11:46,649
Or you could also make it negative.
169
00:11:46,649 --> 00:11:53,009
For example: I don't think they will work
tomorrow because it's a holiday.
170
00:11:53,009 --> 00:11:54,009
Okay?
171
00:11:54,009 --> 00:11:55,170
So, you can do that.
172
00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:58,120
I don't think, I don't believe, and so on.
173
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,399
But again, do you have to use this?
174
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:01,949
No, you don't have to.
175
00:12:01,949 --> 00:12:04,899
You can just use these and that's fine.
176
00:12:04,899 --> 00:12:11,950
Now, one other point, instead of "will not
work", you're going to see that we can also
177
00:12:11,950 --> 00:12:13,579
use some contractions.
178
00:12:13,579 --> 00:12:21,180
We'll learn more about that soon, but a very
common and necessary contraction for "will
179
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:23,550
not" is "won't".
180
00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:27,690
So instead of saying "I will not work.", especially
if it's informal, right?
181
00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:32,079
Then we'll just say, "I won't work.", alright?
182
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:33,889
He won't work tomorrow.
183
00:12:33,889 --> 00:12:35,740
She won't work.
184
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:38,680
We'll look at that again very soon.
185
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:45,300
And, before questions, sometimes we add question
words.
186
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:49,989
For example, we could say: Where will they
work?
187
00:12:49,989 --> 00:12:52,459
When will they work?
188
00:12:52,459 --> 00:12:54,060
How long will they work?
189
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:55,060
Right?
190
00:12:55,060 --> 00:13:04,540
So, if you do that, then just put that word
here, like "Where will he work?", okay?
191
00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:06,430
That's it, alright?
192
00:13:06,430 --> 00:13:12,829
Now, one other question that I get very often
when we start learning "will" is "What about
193
00:13:12,829 --> 00:13:13,829
shall?
194
00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:16,879
I've heard that we can say 'shall' sometimes
instead of 'will'."
195
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:24,920
Well, it's like this: usually in sentences,
okay, positive or negative, we don't - in
196
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,790
North America, we don't really use "shall"
in the sentence instead of "will".
197
00:13:30,790 --> 00:13:37,160
We do not usually say "I shall go there.",
because it sounds very formal and very official
198
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,009
and very - a little bit old fashioned.
199
00:13:40,009 --> 00:13:47,860
A little bit like Shakespeare, which is wonderful,
but it's not really used, so I would not encourage
200
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:52,950
you to use it in sentences or in negative
sentences.
201
00:13:52,950 --> 00:13:59,769
What we do sometimes, though, is we use it
to create kind of a polite question.
202
00:13:59,769 --> 00:14:08,329
So, we could say, for example, only with "I"
or "we", you could ask somebody "Shall I order?"
203
00:14:08,329 --> 00:14:12,060
Shall I order dinner?
204
00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:19,089
It's just like a polite way of asking about
something in the future or "Shall I bring
205
00:14:19,089 --> 00:14:30,029
some dessert when I come to your house?" or
"Shall we dance?" or "Shall we begin?", like
206
00:14:30,029 --> 00:14:32,499
"Shall we begin the lesson?"
207
00:14:32,499 --> 00:14:33,730
That's fine.
208
00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:38,779
We do use it in questions like this, very
polite questions, but really not anywhere
209
00:14:38,779 --> 00:14:39,829
else.
210
00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:42,589
And that's basically how it works.
211
00:14:42,589 --> 00:14:53,399
Remember that you can also do the same thing
with irregular verbs, okay?
212
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:56,240
It doesn't matter, because the verb isn't
going to change, right?
213
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:02,300
So, you could say "I will go", like "go" is
an irregular verb, but you don't need to change
214
00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:05,399
it at all, just keep the base form of the
verb.
215
00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:09,450
I will go, I won't go, Will they go?
216
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:11,249
Same thing, alright?
217
00:15:11,249 --> 00:15:14,420
And that's how you form this tense.
218
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:20,459
Now, let's look at when and how to use contractions
with the future simple tense.
219
00:15:20,459 --> 00:15:23,970
So, first of all, when do we not use them?
220
00:15:23,970 --> 00:15:31,939
We do not use contractions or shortened forms
when we're speaking or writing formally.
221
00:15:31,939 --> 00:15:36,370
For example, here, these are formal examples.
222
00:15:36,370 --> 00:15:40,059
Dr. Johnson will speak at the conference.
223
00:15:40,059 --> 00:15:47,459
It's a positive sentence, it's a formal sentence,
so we do not and should not shorten it or
224
00:15:47,459 --> 00:15:48,790
contract it.
225
00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:55,120
And this example: The manager will not complete
the reports.
226
00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:01,180
Also formal, more official, it's negative
but it doesn't matter because it's formal.
227
00:16:01,180 --> 00:16:08,879
So, when it's formal or academic or needs
to be very businesslike, then do not use contractions.
228
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:12,059
So, when can we use contractions?
229
00:16:12,059 --> 00:16:15,350
When we're speaking or writing informally.
230
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:17,740
So, how do we do it?
231
00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:27,111
So, instead of saying "I will be on time.",
we join together the words "I will" and it
232
00:16:27,111 --> 00:16:29,199
becomes "I'll".
233
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:34,970
Say it after me: I'll be on time.
234
00:16:34,970 --> 00:16:39,300
You'll be on time.
235
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:43,379
We'll be on time.
236
00:16:43,379 --> 00:16:47,619
They'll be time.
237
00:16:47,619 --> 00:16:51,499
He'll be on time.
238
00:16:51,499 --> 00:16:56,259
She'll be on time, and It'll be on time.
239
00:16:56,259 --> 00:16:58,989
It will, okay?
240
00:16:58,989 --> 00:17:00,529
It will be on time.
241
00:17:00,529 --> 00:17:06,500
So, all of these are contractions for the
subject + will.
242
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:08,199
Shortened and contracted.
243
00:17:08,199 --> 00:17:13,000
Now, we can do the same thing with the negative
form.
244
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,939
Instead of saying "I will not", we can say
what?
245
00:17:17,939 --> 00:17:19,850
I won't.
246
00:17:19,850 --> 00:17:23,019
Say it after me: I won't.
247
00:17:23,019 --> 00:17:25,159
I won't be on time.
248
00:17:25,159 --> 00:17:29,789
Oh, sorry, I won't be late.
249
00:17:29,789 --> 00:17:34,210
I will be on time, but I won't be late.
250
00:17:34,210 --> 00:17:37,169
You won't be late.
251
00:17:37,169 --> 00:17:40,140
We won't be late.
252
00:17:40,140 --> 00:17:43,880
They won't be late.
253
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,730
He won't be late.
254
00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:53,850
She won't be late, and It won't be late.
255
00:17:53,850 --> 00:17:57,360
It's important that you pronounce this word
correctly.
256
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:03,789
Don't say it like the verb "want", it's not
"want", it's "won't".
257
00:18:03,789 --> 00:18:06,530
Say it again: won't.
258
00:18:06,530 --> 00:18:08,049
I won't.
259
00:18:08,049 --> 00:18:09,049
He won't.
260
00:18:09,049 --> 00:18:10,049
Alright?
261
00:18:10,049 --> 00:18:14,710
So, make sure you're pronouncing it correctly
in terms of the "o" and also make sure you're
262
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:18,500
saying the "tuh" sound, the "t" sound at the
end.
263
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:22,870
And, of course, you could use these with all
kinds of verbs.
264
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:25,720
Here, we used the verb "be".
265
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:33,539
I won't be, I will be, but we could say "I'll
call you later.", "I'll talk to you later.",
266
00:18:33,539 --> 00:18:37,240
"I'll see you later."
267
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,720
These are very common words and expressions
that we use every day using contractions.
268
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,990
Now, let's look at how to give short answers
in the future simple tense.
269
00:18:47,990 --> 00:18:50,480
So, when do we give short answers?
270
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:56,419
When someone asks a question, we don't have
to repeat everything they said, we just answer
271
00:18:56,419 --> 00:18:58,159
in short, like this.
272
00:18:58,159 --> 00:19:06,889
So, if someone says, "Will he be in Madrid
tomorrow?", you could say "Yes, he will.",
273
00:19:06,889 --> 00:19:17,309
or, if it's formal, "No, he will not.", or
informally, "No, he won't.", alright?
274
00:19:17,309 --> 00:19:21,679
So, it's really easy to know how to give this
short answer.
275
00:19:21,679 --> 00:19:26,710
If it's positive, we just take it from the
question itself.
276
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:28,549
Yes, he will.
277
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:35,580
And if it's negative, you're still going to
use the negative contraction: No, he won't,
278
00:19:35,580 --> 00:19:41,000
or No, he will not, only if it's formal, okay?
279
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,010
Let's look at another example: Will the flight
arrive on time?
280
00:19:45,010 --> 00:19:46,960
So, you could say what?
281
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:52,370
"Yes, it will", or "No, it won't".
282
00:19:52,370 --> 00:20:01,809
Now, what's important to notice here is that
when it's positive, we cannot use any contraction.
283
00:20:01,809 --> 00:20:08,740
And the same here, in any example, whenever
it's a positive answer, then no contraction.
284
00:20:08,740 --> 00:20:12,159
If it's a negative answer, yes, you can contract
it.
285
00:20:12,159 --> 00:20:13,840
You can shorten it.
286
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:14,980
Okay?
287
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:20,370
Let's look at the last example: Will you invite
a lot of people to your party?
288
00:20:20,370 --> 00:20:28,100
So, you could say "Yes, I will", or "No, I
won't."
289
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:33,710
Again, no contraction is possible for the
positive answer.
290
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:39,970
And look, for most of these, you can also
take the subject from the question itself,
291
00:20:39,970 --> 00:20:41,010
right?
292
00:20:41,010 --> 00:20:42,010
Will he be?
293
00:20:42,010 --> 00:20:43,660
Yes, he will.
294
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:44,899
Will the flight arrive?
295
00:20:44,899 --> 00:20:46,779
Yes, it will.
296
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:51,570
The only time you need to change the subject
is if they ask about you, because you can't
297
00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:53,190
say "Yes, you".
298
00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:58,600
They're asking about you, so they say, "Will
you invite a lot of people?" and you say "Yes,
299
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,659
I will" or "No, I won't".
300
00:21:01,659 --> 00:21:05,269
Now, let's practice what you've learned.
301
00:21:05,269 --> 00:21:10,780
We'll make some positive sentences, some negative
ones, and then some questions.
302
00:21:10,780 --> 00:21:11,850
Okay?
303
00:21:11,850 --> 00:21:12,850
Let's get started.
304
00:21:12,850 --> 00:21:18,460
Number one: I _____________ (give) you the
recipe.
305
00:21:18,460 --> 00:21:23,600
So, how would we express that in the future
simple tense?
306
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,440
I - what do we put?
307
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:36,970
Will give you the recipe, okay?
308
00:21:36,970 --> 00:21:39,380
I told you, it's really simple.
309
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:43,450
We don't have to change the verb, we're just
basically adding what?
310
00:21:43,450 --> 00:21:44,490
Will.
311
00:21:44,490 --> 00:21:52,919
So, number two: Don't worry, you ___________
(pass) the exam.
312
00:21:52,919 --> 00:21:54,919
What will it be?
313
00:21:54,919 --> 00:22:02,789
Don't worry, you will pass the exam.
314
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:03,789
Okay?
315
00:22:03,789 --> 00:22:07,710
That's it, that's all.
316
00:22:07,710 --> 00:22:14,539
Number three: The bank ___________ (close)
at 5:00.
317
00:22:14,539 --> 00:22:24,130
The bank will close at 5:00.
318
00:22:24,130 --> 00:22:25,130
Alright?
319
00:22:25,130 --> 00:22:26,130
Great.
320
00:22:26,130 --> 00:22:27,810
So, that was positive, okay?
321
00:22:27,810 --> 00:22:30,190
We were making positive sentences.
322
00:22:30,190 --> 00:22:35,769
Now, let's take these verbs and let's make
this entire sentence negative.
323
00:22:35,769 --> 00:22:41,330
The store __________ (deliver) on Sunday.
324
00:22:41,330 --> 00:22:42,330
And let's use a contraction.
325
00:22:42,330 --> 00:22:50,660
The store - what do we say?
326
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:57,410
Won't deliver on Sunday.
327
00:22:57,410 --> 00:23:05,130
We could have also said "The store will not
deliver on Sunday.", but basically, the verb
328
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:07,029
stays the same.
329
00:23:07,029 --> 00:23:13,649
Next, number five: He ____________ (be) home
until 11:00.
330
00:23:13,649 --> 00:23:18,090
What would it be?
331
00:23:18,090 --> 00:23:28,480
He - let's use the contraction again - he
won't be home until 11:00.
332
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Alright?
333
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Good.
334
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,980
We could also say what?
335
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:35,780
He will not be home until 11:00.
336
00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:41,929
Alright, number six: I _________ (have) time
tomorrow.
337
00:23:41,929 --> 00:23:43,600
Make it negative.
338
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:54,470
I - use the contraction - I won't have time
tomorrow.
339
00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:58,900
Or, I will not have time tomorrow.
340
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:00,759
Okay, wonderful.
341
00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:01,889
You're doing great.
342
00:24:01,889 --> 00:24:04,470
Now, let's make some questions.
343
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:09,730
________ they ________ (make) an announcement?
344
00:24:09,730 --> 00:24:12,650
Remember with the questions, we have to change
the order.
345
00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:16,809
So, which word do we use first?
346
00:24:16,809 --> 00:24:19,370
We say what?
347
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:26,570
Will they make an announcement?
348
00:24:26,570 --> 00:24:34,669
Will they make, not they will make, but will
they make, alright?
349
00:24:34,669 --> 00:24:36,690
That's how we form the question.
350
00:24:36,690 --> 00:24:42,820
Number eight: _______ she _______ (get) the
job?
351
00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:45,700
How do we make the question?
352
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:53,509
Will she get the job?
353
00:24:53,509 --> 00:24:54,600
Alright?
354
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,710
Excellent.
355
00:24:55,710 --> 00:25:01,260
And the last one is actually the title of
a famous song.
356
00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:03,000
Let's see if you can figure it out.
357
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:08,039
_______ you still _____ (love) me tomorrow?
358
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:13,600
So, what will it be?
359
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,539
Will you still love me tomorrow?
360
00:25:20,539 --> 00:25:21,539
Alright?
361
00:25:21,539 --> 00:25:23,400
So, there you go.
362
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,059
You've practiced positive sentences, negative
sentences, and questions.
363
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:29,059
Great work.
364
00:25:29,059 --> 00:25:33,840
Now, let's look at some common mistakes to
be careful of when using the future simple
365
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,840
tense.
366
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,009
So, the first one is with the word "will"
itself.
367
00:25:40,009 --> 00:25:43,940
Let's read the sentence and you can help me
correct it.
368
00:25:43,940 --> 00:25:51,480
This person wanted to talk about the future,
but they wrote "They meet you at the hotel.".
369
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,460
So, what's wrong there?
370
00:25:55,460 --> 00:25:58,330
The "will" was missing.
371
00:25:58,330 --> 00:26:00,779
Where does it belong?
372
00:26:00,779 --> 00:26:06,860
They will meet you at the hotel.
373
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:07,860
Okay?
374
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:11,600
So, don't forget to write "will", alright?
375
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,080
That's the first point.
376
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,799
Second, sometimes mistakes are made in the
contraction.
377
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:24,039
Let's look at this one: Well be home soon.
378
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:28,480
Right now, if I were just to read it, it would
read like that.
379
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,490
Well be home soon.
380
00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:38,200
But it should be - because this person wanted
to say, "We will be home soon", but they wanted
381
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,920
to use the contraction, so what's wrong there?
382
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:49,830
Right now, it doesn't look like a contraction,
so we need to add the apostrophe: We'll be
383
00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:50,830
home soon.
384
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:57,690
So, make sure you spell it correctly, the
contraction, and also pronounce it correctly.
385
00:26:57,690 --> 00:27:00,240
We'll be home soon, okay?
386
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,799
Very nice.
387
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:04,990
The next one is, again, a spelling mistake.
388
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:06,330
It's possible, okay?
389
00:27:06,330 --> 00:27:16,309
So, this student wrote "The kids want to go
to sleep.", but that's not what the person
390
00:27:16,309 --> 00:27:17,940
was trying to say.
391
00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:24,460
They wanted to say, "The kids will not go
to sleep" and they want to use the contraction,
392
00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:27,620
but they didn't use the right word.
393
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:36,029
The word is not "want", it should be what?
394
00:27:36,029 --> 00:27:38,220
Won't.
395
00:27:38,220 --> 00:27:46,309
So, if you're using the contraction, make
sure you don't say "want", say "won't", and
396
00:27:46,309 --> 00:27:49,679
then make sure it's spelled correctly as well.
397
00:27:49,679 --> 00:27:50,679
Alright.
398
00:27:50,679 --> 00:27:52,320
Now, here's another point.
399
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,429
We didn't cover this point before, but it's
really important and you'll get it.
400
00:27:56,429 --> 00:27:58,580
It's not hard to understand.
401
00:27:58,580 --> 00:28:04,749
It's also a common mistake because in many
languages, it is possible to write like this,
402
00:28:04,749 --> 00:28:08,740
but in English, it's not possible to do this.
403
00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:12,870
So here, we're talking about conditional sentences.
404
00:28:12,870 --> 00:28:18,559
Type one conditional sentences, okay, if you're
looking it up in a grammar book, you can check
405
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:19,559
some more.
406
00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:26,830
So, what happens in these kind of sentences,
we're talking about real possible situations
407
00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:30,409
in the future, alright?
408
00:28:30,409 --> 00:28:33,809
And the sentence often has two parts.
409
00:28:33,809 --> 00:28:42,179
Let's read it first with the mistake: If I
will visit Greece, I will call you.
410
00:28:42,179 --> 00:28:50,690
Now, in many languages, both parts of these
sentences, both clauses, can be in the future
411
00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:51,690
tense.
412
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:55,700
The "if" clause + the main clause.
413
00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:59,090
But in English, no.
414
00:28:59,090 --> 00:29:01,580
I'm sorry, we can't do that.
415
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:09,490
So, in the "if" clause, the "if" part of the
sentence, we cannot use "will".
416
00:29:09,490 --> 00:29:12,470
We have to use just present simple.
417
00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:21,289
So, the correct version of this sentence would
be "If I visit Greece, I will call you.",
418
00:29:21,289 --> 00:29:22,409
okay?
419
00:29:22,409 --> 00:29:24,399
Now, what am I saying?
420
00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:30,340
I'm saying you have to change the "if" part
of the sentence, not the first part of the
421
00:29:30,340 --> 00:29:36,540
sentence or the second part of the sentence,
just wherever the "if" clause is.
422
00:29:36,540 --> 00:29:45,049
For example, if I switch the sentence around,
I could say "I will call you if I will visit
423
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:46,679
Greece."
424
00:29:46,679 --> 00:29:48,210
That's also wrong.
425
00:29:48,210 --> 00:29:54,760
This time, the sentence started with the main
clause "I will call you", that's fine, but
426
00:29:54,760 --> 00:30:01,490
in the "if" clause, the "if" part of the sentence,
again, we cannot use that "will".
427
00:30:01,490 --> 00:30:07,660
We cannot use future in the "if" part of the
sentence or the conditional part of the sentence,
428
00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:08,660
alright?
429
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:14,370
So, remember that because it's quite possible
that, in your language, it is completely correct
430
00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:18,650
to do it the way it was on the board, but
in English, it's not.
431
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:24,330
Now, what's also important to remember that
it's not only with the word "if", it's any
432
00:30:24,330 --> 00:30:28,470
kind of word that creates a condition.
433
00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:31,299
For example: when.
434
00:30:31,299 --> 00:30:34,759
When I visit Greece, I will call you.
435
00:30:34,759 --> 00:30:39,140
As soon as I visit Greece, I will call you.
436
00:30:39,140 --> 00:30:41,720
All of these are conditional words.
437
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,740
Or, Before I visit Greece, I will call you.
438
00:30:46,740 --> 00:30:51,330
Or, After I visit Greece, I will call you,
okay?
439
00:30:51,330 --> 00:30:58,490
And again, remember the order doesn't matter,
what matters is if it is a conditional sentence,
440
00:30:58,490 --> 00:30:59,490
alright?
441
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:04,100
So, these are some of the most common mistakes
and be careful of them when you are speaking
442
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:07,429
and writing with the future simple tense.
443
00:31:07,429 --> 00:31:14,390
To review, you know the future simple tense
when you know when to use it and how to use
444
00:31:14,390 --> 00:31:18,850
it, all of which you have been learning during
this class.
445
00:31:18,850 --> 00:31:23,070
So, by now, you should be able to make what?
446
00:31:23,070 --> 00:31:30,399
A positive sentence, a negative sentence,
a question, easily and comfortably in English.
447
00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:32,860
Let's look at the last example.
448
00:31:32,860 --> 00:31:39,660
Let's say someone has gone to the supermarket
and then you say, "He will return soon."
449
00:31:39,660 --> 00:31:40,999
Our positive sentence.
450
00:31:40,999 --> 00:31:43,890
Or, "He will not return soon.
451
00:31:43,890 --> 00:31:53,929
He has a lot of shopping to do", or we can
contract that and say, "He won't return soon."
452
00:31:53,929 --> 00:32:01,389
Or we can make a question: "Will he return
soon?" or "When will he return?"
453
00:32:01,389 --> 00:32:03,749
"What time will he return?".
454
00:32:03,749 --> 00:32:09,779
When you can form these kinds of sentences
and questions easily and comfortably, you've
455
00:32:09,779 --> 00:32:11,950
got it, okay?
456
00:32:11,950 --> 00:32:18,320
So, remember, if you feel comfortable with
this and you feel you've understood everything,
457
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,389
then that's fine.
458
00:32:19,389 --> 00:32:25,610
If you need a little more practice, go back,
watch the lesson again, pay attention to any
459
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:31,850
parts you need to review, and try to make
some sentences about your life, about what's
460
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:33,669
going on around you.
461
00:32:33,669 --> 00:32:35,899
What will you do tomorrow?
462
00:32:35,899 --> 00:32:36,899
Okay?
463
00:32:36,899 --> 00:32:43,630
Write about that, talk about it, use it to
describe things happening around you.
464
00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:50,820
When you're ready, you can go on to the next
tense in this series, which is actually also
465
00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:57,289
about the future, remember I told you we can
also use "going to" and the present continuous
466
00:32:57,289 --> 00:32:59,110
for the future?
467
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:01,769
That's the next class in this series.
468
00:33:01,769 --> 00:33:06,190
How to use the future for informal communication,
alright?
469
00:33:06,190 --> 00:33:12,330
And, if you'd like a little more practice
on this one, the future simple with "will",
470
00:33:12,330 --> 00:33:15,869
you can go to www.engvid.com to do a quiz
there, alright?
471
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:20,130
So, thanks very much for watching, and all
the best with your English.38442
