[h1]Future Tenses[/h1]

There are no real future tenses in English. English uses the same tenses, usually [u]Present Continuous[/u], [u]Present Simple[/u] or [u]will+verb[/u] to declare a future event or a future intention. Will as a noun means "a desire" "a wish" "a determination". We could boldly say that , "I will keep you informed" really means "I wish to keep you informed" " I intend to keep you informed" (It's a resolution). [b]Example[/b] I'm taking a bus home tomorrow. (P.Cont+time expression) She arrives at 9:00 next monday. (P.Simple+time expression) I'm going to fly home for christmas ( P.cont+ expression) I will wait for you at the lobby ( Will+verb) [em]Note[/em] Use future with "going to" when you want to talk about a plan you elaborate for the future, when you're talking about a premeditated future. YOU ALREADY MADE PLANS FOR THIS FUTURE. [b]Example[/b] I'm going to Europe next summer, I bought the tickets yesterday. I'm going to take a vacation around September. Use future "will" when you express [b]a wish[/b] that can be true in the future. Usually you don't plan, you take the decision about this future as you're speaking. [b]Example[/b] I'll start my own business one of these days. Use future will when you offer something ( help for example). [b]A[/b]: This box's too heavy! [b]B[/b]: I'll help you! [b]A[/b]: The phone is ringing! [b]B[/b]: I'll get it. The video below will clarify some of these points.
