SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE

·       It is the kind of tenses which is used to express or show a future action/an action that will occur in the future.

·  We have different ways of talking about the future. We often use “be going to” (+infinitive) or “will” (+infinitive). The structure we use depends on the function of what we want to say, whether we are talking about arrangement, plans, prediction, etc.

·        We use “will” in these situations:

1.    to make decisions that are made at the time of speaking

Example: (The doorbell rings) I will get it.

2.    to state a fact about the future

Example: Marry will be 45 in March.

3.    to make a promise

Example: I will come. I promise.

4.    to make a prediction

Example: Oliver will be back soon.

5.    with words like I think, I guess, I hope, probably, possibly

Example: It’s 11 p.m. now. I think I will go to bed now.

·        “be going” to is used in these conditions:

1.    a future event that has been planned before the time of speaking

Example: I am going to clean my room tonight.

2.    to make a future prediction based on facts/evidence

Example: Look out! You are going to spill that coffee.

WOULD LIKE

·    We use would like or ‘d like to say politely what we want, especially when making offers and request. Verbs that follow would like are in the to-infinitive form.

Example:       Would you like to listen to that again?

I’d like to get a return ticket for tomorrow.

WOULD RATHER

·        It is used to show a choice form different options.

·        Sentence Pattern: S + WOULD + RATHER + Verb 1

 Example: I Would rather go to a different restaurant.

Pay attention to the dialogue below.

Donna: So, what about you Karna? Do you have any plans?

Karna: Definitely! My Dad and I are going to go fishing. We plan to go fishing in a lake near my uncle’s house. Would you like to come with us?

Donna: I don’t really like fishing. I would rather stay at home than go fishing. What about you, Juli? What would you like to do on the long weekend?

Juli: I have a plan with my mother about what to do on this long weekend. We are going to practice baking cookies.

Karna: Are you going to bake choco chips cookies like the other day?

Juli: Well, yes. That is my fovourite. But we are going to try to make ginger cookies too. Donna, would you like to join me to learn baking cookies? You can come to my house.

Karna: It’s a good idea! Or will you go fishing with me and my Dad?
