    Present, past and future
    Read this paragraph from Rachel’s letter to her aunt and uncle.

    This is my last year at college, so I’ll be leaving in June.


    And I’ve already got a job! In September I’m starting
    work at a bank in London. So I’ll be free for most of
    the summer. I’m going to spend six weeks travelling
    around the US. My friend Vicky is coming with me.
    (She finishes college at the same time as me.) We’re
    really looking forward to the trip. We might go to
    Canada too. Vicky has friends in Toronto.
    Verb forms used for the future
    Here are some examples of verb forms used to express the future.
    Be going to I’m going to spend six weeks in the US. (an intention)
    Will I’ll be free for most of the summer. (neutral future/ prediction)
    Pres. ContinuousI’m starting work in September. (an arrangement)
    Present Simple She finishes college at the same time. (a timetable)
    Will Be Doing I’ll be leaving in June. (in the course of the events)

    Very often there is more than one possible form that could be used.
    She’ll finish college in June. She finishes college in June.
    She’s finishing college in June. She’ll be finishing college in June.
    Rachel could use any of these in her letter.
    Your turn!
    Write three different examples with one use of the future.

    Be going to I’m going to spend six weeks in the US. (an intention)
    Will I’ll be free for most of the summer. (neutral future/ prediction)
    Pres. ContinuousI’m starting work in September. (an arrangement)
    Present Simple She finishes college at the same time. (a timetable)
    Will Be Doing I’ll be leaving in June. (in the course of the events)
    Being sure and unsure
    We cannot always be sure about the future. To show that we are unsure we
    can use might or could.
    We might go to Canada. It could rain soon.

    To show how sure or unsure we are, we often use phrases like I’m sure,
    definitely, I expect, I (don’t) think and probably.
    I’m sure it’ll be all right.
    I expect everyone will be going home.
    I think I’m going to sneeze.
    Rachel will probably be late.
    We’re definitely going to be at the meeting.
    PRACTICE: Present and future
    Say if the second sentence is about the present of the future. Look at the
    phrases of time such as at the moment and on Friday.
    PRACTICE: Present and future
    Read each pair of sentences and then answer the question about them.
