Review Unit 5

FUTURE REVIEW
There are three common ways of talking about the future in English.
1. When we want to talk about our intentions, or to talk about a process that has started and will end in the future, we use be going to.
There's a test tomorrow, so I'm going to revise it for tonight. (intention)
I feel awful! I think I'm going to be sick. (process)
I didn't like their last CD, so I'm not going to buy their new one. (intention)
We aren't going to watch the match tonight. (intention)

2. When we want to talk about arrangements for the future, we use the present continuous (we almost never use this in the negative).
My sister's seeing the dentist tomorrow morning.
I'm having lunch with some friends on Saturday.
My grandfather is retiring next month.

3. When we want to make predictions about the future, we use will/ will not (won't).
