For example:-
"Look at that cloud. I think it's going to rain."
"Watch out! He's going to crash into that tree!"
You can also use going toto predict the future based upon the evidence now.
For example:-
"It looks as though Manchester United are going to win the European cup.
"I think my friend Louise is going to have a baby."
!Note
Thanks to Ken Anderson for pointing out the following:-
"I'm going to Germany." isn't really the future tense. You would have to say "I'm going to go
toGermany."
Discussing the future using shall/will
When we give information about the future or predict future events that are not certain we
usually use shall/will.
For example:-
Q) Who do you think will winthe election?" A) "I'm not sure but I think the current party will
win."

English.
We can also use shall/will to make promises for the future.
When leaving work I would say -"Goodnight, I'll(I will) see you tomorrow."
Shall/Will is often used when we just decide to do something.
For example:-
The phone is ringing- If I decide to answer the phone I would say- "I'll(I will) get it."
It can also be used in formal situations to express planned events and is preferred in formal
written English.
For example:-
The party will startat 10.00pm.
.
Present progressive with future meaning
The present perfect simple tense is used to talk about a past time, which has very strong
meaning for the present.
Present Perfect Simple Timeline

Q) Where's Jane?
A) She has gone out. She should be back in an hour.
We form the present perfect simple by using the auxilliary verb have/has and the -ed form of
the regular verb (the past participle)irregular verbforms have to be learned:

He's worked. He hasn't worked. Has he worked? Yes, he has. No, he hasn't.
She's worked. She hasn't worked. Has she worked? Yes, she has. No, she hasn't.
It's worked. It hasn't worked. Has it worked? Yes, it has. No, it hasn't.
You've worked. You haven't worked. Have you worked? Yes you have. No, you haven't.
We've worked. We haven't worked. Have we worked? Yes we have. No, we haven't.
They've worked. They haven't worked. Have they worked? Yes they have. No, they haven't.
The present perfect simple is used to discuss events that have just been completed at the
moment of speaking.
For example:
Q) Have you doneyour homework?"
A) "Yes, I'vejust finishedit."
It is often used to suggest that a past action still has an effect upon something happening in the
present.

For example:
"The pound has fallenagainst the dollar."
It is also used to discuss unfinished time.
For example:
Q) Have you done yourhomework today?
A) No, I haven't doneit yet.Note - You are talking about today and today isn't finished, so you may do your homework
later!
Q) Have you ever beento England?"
A) "Yes I have."
Note - You are talking about something that has happened in your life and your life isn't
finished!
You can also use the present perfect to discuss something from the past but you don't want tosay exactly when.
For example:
Q) "Are you learning any languages?"
A) "Yes, I've begun to learn English."
This tense is often used to discuss events that have been happening over a period of time, but
aren't finished yet.
For example:
Q) "How long haveyou studiedEnglish for?"
A) "I've studiedEnglish for 2 years now."

The Future Tenses
The future can be indicated in several different ways in English. It is often created with the use
of auxiliaries: "She will be a student.", "She is going to drive a new car."
English can even create the future by using the simple present (used for timetables,programs
etc.), "The train arrives at 10pm" or the present progressive (used for future plans), "He is
collecting his mother from the station tonight."
Simple Future (uses will or shall or going to + base form)

What is a Phrasal Verb?
A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and preposition, a verb and an adverb, or a verb with
both an adverb and a preposition.
A phrasal verb has a meaning which is different from the original verb. That's what makes them
fun, but confusing. You may need to try to guess the meaning from the context, or, failing that,
look it up in a dictionary.
The adverb or preposition that follows the verb are sometimes called a particle. The particle
changes the meaning of the phrasal verb in idiomatic ways.
They are also known as compound verbs, verb-adverb combinations, verb-particle
constructions", two-part words/verbs and three-part words/verbs (depending on the number
of words).
Phrasal verbs are usually used informally in everyday speech as opposed to the more formal
Latinate verbs, such as to get together rather than to congregate, to put off rather than topostpone, or to get out rather than to exit. They should be avoided in academic writing.
!Note - Some linguists differentiate between phrasal verbs and prepositional verbs, whileothers assume them to be part of one and the same construction, as both types are phrasal in
nature. So, unless you want to become a linguist, don't worry about it.

Literal usage
Many verbs in English can be combined with an adverb or a preposition, a phrasal verb used in
a literal sense with a preposition is easy to understand.
"He walked acrossthe square.
Verb and adverb constructions are also easy to understand when used literally.
"She opened the shutters and looked outside." "When he heard the crash, he looked up."
An adverb in a literal phrasal verb modifies the verb it is attached to, and a preposition links the
subject to the verb.
Idiomatic usage
It is, however, the figurative or idiomatic application in everyday speech which makes phrasal
verbs so important:
"I hope you will get overyour operation quickly."
The literal meaning of to get over, in the sense of to climb over something to get to the other
side, is not relevant here. Here "get over" means "recover from" or "feel better".
Transitive and intransitive phrasal verbs
Phrasal verbs also differ in their transitivity or intransitivity in the same way as normal verbs do.
A transitive verb always has an object.
For example:-
http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/verbphrasaltext.htmhttp://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/verbphrasaltext.htm7/31/2019 Unit II Planning the Future
15/28
GIMNASIO VIRTUAL SAN FRANCISCO JAVIER
Valores y Tecnologa para la Formacin Integral del Ser Humano
English.
Many people walked across the bridge.
"Across" in this sentence is the preposition to "the bridge".
An intransitive verb does not have an object.
For example:-
When I entered the room he looked up.
"Up" here is an adverb, and does not have an object.
Separable or inseparable phrasal verbs
A further way of considering phrasal verbs is whether they are separable or inseparable. In
inseparable verbs, the object comes after the particle.
For example:-
"She got onthe bus ."
"On weekdays, we look afterour grandchildren."
Separable verbs have several ways of separating verb, particle and object. Usually, the object
comes between verb and particle.
For example:-
"She looked upthe word in her dictionary."
"She lookedit up in her dictionary."
However, with some separable verbs, the object can come before or after the particle.
For example:-

"Switchthe light off."
"Switch offthe light."
"Switchit off."
!Note - There is usually no way of telling whether they are separable, inseparable,transitive or intransitive. In most cases you have to get a feel for them.
Modal Could/Couldnt
The long and the short of it
Verb conjugation and contraction - in other words; "The short form".
In spoken English we use the short form a lot. We say things like: I'm / you're / didn't etc.
instead of I am / you are / did not etc.
We also use these short forms in informal written English. When we write in the short form, we
use an apostrophe (') for the missing letter(s).

Let us is a funny one. The only time I've ever heard the long form of "Let us..." used is when

Used to something
The use ofused to do is explained here. However, used to has another meaning, it can be
used as an adjective and we use it to talk about things that have become familiar, and are no
longer strange or new.
Used to usually comes after verbs such as be, get or become.
After a while yougetused tothe noise.
She willbecomeused to the smell.
Iwasused tothe web site.
You can also say that someone is used to doingsomething.
I'll never getused togettingup at six o'clock in the morning.
It took me a while until I wasused todrivingon the right-hand side of the
road.
'Used to' or 'use to' vs would
I was asked on Pal Talk recently how to use used to and would.
If we say something used to happen we are talking about repeated eventsand actionsin the
past, usually things that happened a long time ago and are now finished.
To express this we can use either used to or would.
When I was young Iused to playwith my dolls. = When I was young Iwould
playwith my dolls.
Of course I no longer play with dolls!
Weused to go outa lot in the summer.

Implies that we no longer go out much.
If you want to talk about repeated states or habitsin the past, you must use used to, you
cannot use would : :
My dogused to barkat cats.
Iused tosmoke.
Iused to bean administrative assistant.
Iused to livein England.
You should use 'use to' without a d in sentences when it follows 'did' or 'didn't' (don't worry
too much about this because lots of people get it wrong).
The question form is Did you use to?'. When asking a closed question you put did/didn't in
front of the subject followed byuse to, you cannot use would.
Didyouuse togo out with my sister?
Didtheyuse toown the company?
Didn'tweuse togo to the same school?
Also when asking questions about states in the past you cannot use would.
What sort of thingsdidyouuse tolike when you were young?
. In the negative you cannot use would without a change in meaning.
Ididn't use toplay with my dolls.
If I said I wouldn't play with my dolls. It would mean I refused to play with my
dolls.
Wedidn't use togo out much in the winter months.
If I said we wouldn't go out much. It would mean we refused to go out much.

!Note - The general rule is when there is did or didn't in the sentence, we say use
to (without d) when there is no did or didn't in the sentence, we say used to (with d).
There is also a difference between "used to do something and to be used to something".

"Ilikeyour new car."
Like can also mean similar to or in the same way.

Q. "What does helook like?" - A. "Helooks likehis brother."
The expression would like is used when we make requests and offers.
For example:-
"I'd like another glass of wine, please."
However "What is he/she/it like?" is a specific question about the personality of
someone or the attributes of something, here you do not use like in the answer.

Q. "What is helike?" - A. "He is very nice."
Q. "What is itlike?" - A. "It is very reliable."
