- Present simple as future
- It is used to talk about fixed plans,
programmed events, people’s
schedules such as travel itineraries,
organized trips and the like.
- The present simple is also used to
refer to future events in clauses of
time and condition following if,
unless, as long as, when, as soon as,
before, after, until, by the time etc.:
- Example:
- I’ll pay you as soon as you have finished the work
- I’ll pay you as soon as you have finished the work

time and condition following if,
unless, as long as, when, as soon as,
before, after, until, by the time etc.:
- It is used to talk about fixed plans,
programmed events, people’s
schedules such as travel itineraries,

- The future continuous
- The construction will + be + -ing form is
used to talk about actions/processes in
progress at a particular time in the
future.
- Example:
- Don’t call on him early in the afternoon.
He’ll be sleeping Thank God, in a few days
I’ll just be lying on the beach
- Don’t call on him early in the afternoon.

- Example:
- The construction will + be + -ing form is
used to talk about actions/processes in
progress at a particular time in the
future.
- The future perfect
- The future perfect is formed by
will/shall + have + past participle. It is
used to talk about something which
will, or won’t, be finished or completed
by a certain time in the future
- Example:
- I won’t have finished this
book by tomorrow The
bridge will have been built
two years from now
- I won’t have finished this
book by tomorrow The
bridge will have been built
two years from now
- Example:
- The future perfect is formed by
will/shall + have + past participle. It is
used to talk about something which
will, or won’t, be finished or completed
by a certain time in the future
- The future in the past
- In order to talk about an event which was in the
future at a certain time in the past we can use
the past forms of the various future structures,
namely should/would instead of shall/will,
was/were going to instead of am/are/is going
to, the past progressive instead of the present
progressive, was/were to instead of are/is to:
- Example:
- He said he would send them a postcard The
ceremony was beginning at 7 p.m. They were
going to argue again
- He said he would send them a postcard The
ceremony was beginning at 7 p.m. They were
going to argue again
- Example:
- In order to talk about an event which was in the
future at a certain time in the past we can use
the past forms of the various future structures,
namely should/would instead of shall/will,
was/were going to instead of am/are/is going
to, the past progressive instead of the present
progressive, was/were to instead of are/is to:
- The will/shall future
