, Be going to + infinitive
Predictions
- When there is evidence in the present to justify the prediction, we use be
going to + infinitive
- With be going to the prediction is often about the immediate future.
- This use of be going to for the immediate future often has an element of
warning
- We can use will for a prediction with present evidence , usually when we
are given an opinion. We often use introduction phrases such as I think.
Decisions, intentions and arrangements
- We use be going to + infinitive for actions that we have already decided to
do.
- We stress the auxiliary be or not to express determination about
something we have already decided on.
- We usually avoid be going to + infinitive with the verbs come and go
Future continuous: will/won’t be + ing form
Predictions
- We use this form for a temporary action in progress at or around a
particular point in the future.
- We use this form to talk about an action that will be in progress in the
future, it may have a result or make another action possible.
- We don’t usually use the passive with this form, nor the verb be.
- We can also use will/won’t be + ing form to describe something we believe
to be the case now.
Decisions, intentions and arrangements
- We can use the future continuous to talk about events that are a result of
or part of an arrangement made in the past.
- With this structure the future event is seen as arranged, so we use this as
a tactful way of refusing an invitation or asking about someone’s plans
- There is, In fact, a little difference between this and the use of the
present/future continuous for arrangements. The future continuous
distances the arrangement a little, making it more fixed and less open to
change.
Other ways of expressing the future
- We can use will/won’t be + ing form to emphasize the routine nature of an
event
- This future continuous form can also suggest that an event is inevitable.
Future perfect simple: will/won’t have + participle
Predictions
