00:00:09.669 --> 00:00:12.559
hello and welcome everyone this is minoo

2
00:00:12.559 --> 00:00:15.980
at anglo-link this is the seventh video

3
00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:19.550
in our series learn the tenses and the

4
00:00:19.550 --> 00:00:23.750
second video about future tenses in the

5
00:00:23.750 --> 00:00:26.210
first video we looked at the differences

6
00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:29.570
between when and going to and in this

7
00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:32.269
video we're going to look at the use of

8
00:00:32.269 --> 00:00:35.300
the present continuous tense as I'm

9
00:00:35.300 --> 00:00:38.720
doing for future action and contrast it

10
00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:42.140
with going to by watching these two

11
00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:44.030
videos you will have a good

12
00:00:44.030 --> 00:00:46.370
understanding of the three main forms

13
00:00:46.370 --> 00:00:49.280
that are used in English to speak about

14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.210
future actions so when you're ready

15
00:00:53.210 --> 00:00:59.300
let's begin right let's start and

16
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:02.359
contrast going to future with present

17
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.200
continuous with the future time marker

18
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.020
first of all just a brief reminder of

19
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:13.009
the formulation of the two forms going

20
00:01:13.009 --> 00:01:17.060
to future I am going to do it you're

21
00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:20.530
going to do it he is going to do it

22
00:01:20.530 --> 00:01:27.340
etc and present continuous but this time

23
00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:32.239
including a future time marker I'm doing

24
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.729
it tomorrow

25
00:01:33.729 --> 00:01:38.509
you're doing it tomorrow he is doing it

26
00:01:38.509 --> 00:01:40.330
tomorrow

27
00:01:40.330 --> 00:01:48.489
etc okay let's move on to usage now

28
00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:52.280
let's start with the second usage of the

29
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.470
going to future that we looked at in the

30
00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:57.979
previous video as you remember the

31
00:01:57.979 --> 00:02:01.129
second usage was talking about a

32
00:02:01.129 --> 00:02:05.179
decision or a plan made before the time

33
00:02:05.179 --> 00:02:11.289
of speaking let's look at some examples

34
00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:15.440
my friend wants to see the town and I've

35
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:19.849
decided to show her around I'm going to

36
00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:22.209
show her around

37
00:02:23.190 --> 00:02:28.900
she has decided to study at college she

38
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:35.380
is going to study psychology he is

39
00:02:35.380 --> 00:02:39.790
planning to seek legal advice is made a

40
00:02:39.790 --> 00:02:43.720
decision is going to see his lawyer

41
00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.260
sometime next week they want to discuss

42
00:02:50.260 --> 00:02:54.220
the matter so they've decided to have a

43
00:02:54.220 --> 00:03:01.120
meeting we are going to meet soon notice

44
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:03.610
there are all personal decisions or

45
00:03:03.610 --> 00:03:12.459
plans before the time of speaking let's

46
00:03:12.459 --> 00:03:14.350
have a look at when we use the present

47
00:03:14.350 --> 00:03:18.989
continuous plus future time marker then

48
00:03:18.989 --> 00:03:23.680
we use this formulation when it's not

49
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.190
just your personal plan or decision but

50
00:03:27.190 --> 00:03:32.230
an arrangement or an appointment it's

51
00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:36.239
something you can put in your diary now

52
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.209
let's take the same context and see how

53
00:03:40.209 --> 00:03:47.440
the tense changes so this time you've

54
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.810
made an appointment with your friend to

55
00:03:49.810 --> 00:03:54.670
show her around the town to indicate

56
00:03:54.670 --> 00:03:57.549
this you use the present continuous and

57
00:03:57.549 --> 00:04:02.730
say when this is happening in the future

58
00:04:02.730 --> 00:04:08.400
I'm showing her around this afternoon in

59
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:13.000
the second example she has now

60
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.880
registered at college it's like an

61
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:18.089
appointment an arrangement

62
00:04:18.089 --> 00:04:23.220
so we switch to the present continuous

63
00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:28.229
she is studying psychology next year

64
00:04:28.229 --> 00:04:32.490
let's look at the third example

65
00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:35.360
he has made an appointment with his

66
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.660
lawyer

67
00:04:38.140 --> 00:04:44.750
he is seeing him next Tuesday and the

68
00:04:44.750 --> 00:04:48.860
fourth example they have now scheduled a

69
00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:54.529
meeting it's arranged it's fixed they're

70
00:04:54.529 --> 00:04:58.520
meeting at 1:00 o'clock tomorrow so

71
00:04:58.520 --> 00:05:01.820
notice how appointments and arrangements

72
00:05:01.820 --> 00:05:04.790
have been made and are not fixed in the

73
00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:10.580
future let's look at the two tenses

74
00:05:10.580 --> 00:05:14.570
together and compare so going to four

75
00:05:14.570 --> 00:05:17.210
plans and decisions usually personal

76
00:05:17.210 --> 00:05:20.990
before the time of speaking the present

77
00:05:20.990 --> 00:05:23.540
continuous including a future time

78
00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:28.809
marker for appointments and arrangements

79
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:32.270
I'm going to show her around the town

80
00:05:32.270 --> 00:05:39.170
it's my plan my decision I'm showing her

81
00:05:39.170 --> 00:05:41.990
around the town this afternoon I have an

82
00:05:41.990 --> 00:05:48.140
appointment with her she is going to

83
00:05:48.140 --> 00:05:52.780
study psychology that's her decision

84
00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:57.770
she's studying psychology at college

85
00:05:57.770 --> 00:05:58.900
next year

86
00:05:58.900 --> 00:06:06.529
she is not registered for it he is going

87
00:06:06.529 --> 00:06:09.260
to see his lawyer next week that's what

88
00:06:09.260 --> 00:06:15.470
his planning he's meeting his lawyer on

89
00:06:15.470 --> 00:06:18.410
Tuesday he has an appointment with him

90
00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:25.750
now they're going to meet again soon

91
00:06:25.750 --> 00:06:31.760
they've decided that they're meeting at

92
00:06:31.760 --> 00:06:35.000
one o'clock tomorrow they have made an

93
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.220
appointment for this meeting right in a

94
00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:42.640
dialogue you want to ask your question

95
00:06:42.640 --> 00:06:45.719
with either form

96
00:06:45.719 --> 00:06:48.689
you can ask about their personal plans

97
00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:52.979
or about their arrangements and they can

98
00:06:52.979 --> 00:06:55.439
choose the form that best fits their

99
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.019
answer they will tell you whether it's

100
00:06:58.019 --> 00:07:02.039
just a plan or an arrangement so you can

101
00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:06.860
say what are you going to do tomorrow or

102
00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:11.369
what are you doing tomorrow if they have

103
00:07:11.369 --> 00:07:14.129
an arrangement they can answer with the

104
00:07:14.129 --> 00:07:19.110
present continuous for example I'm

105
00:07:19.110 --> 00:07:24.569
visiting my parents or I'm playing

106
00:07:24.569 --> 00:07:28.319
tennis with a colleague if they only

107
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.639
have personal plans or decisions they

108
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.969
will answer with the going to forum for

109
00:07:35.969 --> 00:07:40.439
example I'm going to finish my homework

110
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:51.989
oh I'm going to tidy up my room note

111
00:07:51.989 --> 00:07:55.379
that it's best to avoid saying what will

112
00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:58.439
you do tomorrow unless you follow it

113
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.589
with the neath what will you do tomorrow

114
00:08:01.589 --> 00:08:06.629
if you finish your work early there's

115
00:08:06.629 --> 00:08:10.800
one more point to mention to you that's

116
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.179
about timetables

117
00:08:12.179 --> 00:08:15.569
if your arrangement involves an external

118
00:08:15.569 --> 00:08:18.449
timetable then you need to use the

119
00:08:18.449 --> 00:08:23.219
present simple to speak about it let's

120
00:08:23.219 --> 00:08:25.769
look at some examples for example what

121
00:08:25.769 --> 00:08:27.569
are you doing tomorrow next week etc

122
00:08:27.569 --> 00:08:31.649
let's say someone says I'm flying to

123
00:08:31.649 --> 00:08:35.219
Geneva and there's a timetable there's a

124
00:08:35.219 --> 00:08:38.879
flight timetable he or she will have to

125
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:46.800
say my flight leaves at 11:00 a.m. we're

126
00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:50.040
going to a concert next saturday to give

127
00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:52.679
the time the concert begins with switch

128
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:57.240
to present simple the concert

129
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:04.069
at 8 p.m. I selected another arrangement

130
00:09:04.069 --> 00:09:06.600
she is watching a movie with us

131
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.740
this evening to give the time the movie

132
00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:15.449
begins we switch to present simple the

133
00:09:15.449 --> 00:09:21.860
movie starts at 7:30 another arrangement

134
00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:24.660
there arriving by train tomorrow

135
00:09:24.660 --> 00:09:28.889
afternoon to give the timetable of the

136
00:09:28.889 --> 00:09:29.458
Train

137
00:09:29.458 --> 00:09:33.749
switch to present simple their train

138
00:09:33.749 --> 00:09:41.490
arrives at 3:15 p.m. right it's time to

139
00:09:41.490 --> 00:09:45.839
do some exercises obviously a common

140
00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:48.389
mistake can be using the present

141
00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:50.809
continuous instead of going to and

142
00:09:50.809 --> 00:09:54.240
vice-versa so let's look at some

143
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.639
situations and see which sentence sounds

144
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.540
better to you first example someone says

145
00:10:00.540 --> 00:10:02.970
have you booked an appointment with your

146
00:10:02.970 --> 00:10:08.458
dentist what's better to answer yes I'm

147
00:10:08.458 --> 00:10:12.929
going to see him tomorrow morning oh yes

148
00:10:12.929 --> 00:10:17.610
I'm saying him tomorrow morning well as

149
00:10:17.610 --> 00:10:20.540
it's an appointment option B is better

150
00:10:20.540 --> 00:10:23.458
present continues with the future time

151
00:10:23.458 --> 00:10:27.389
marker yes I'm seeing him tomorrow

152
00:10:27.389 --> 00:10:34.100
morning let's look at another example

153
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.708
someone asks you what are your plans for

154
00:10:37.708 --> 00:10:43.769
this summer what is a better answer I'm

155
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:49.230
going to decorate my house oh I am

156
00:10:49.230 --> 00:10:52.368
redecorating my house

157
00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:56.129
well it's your personal plan you haven't

158
00:10:56.129 --> 00:11:00.059
made any arrangements so a is more

159
00:11:00.059 --> 00:11:02.759
appropriate here I'm going to redecorate

160
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:09.360
my house next exam

161
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.670
someone asks what are you doing this

162
00:11:12.670 --> 00:11:14.910
evening

163
00:11:15.389 --> 00:11:19.540
would you say I'm going to have dinner

164
00:11:19.540 --> 00:11:27.569
with Jane oh I'm having dinner with j-b

165
00:11:29.339 --> 00:11:32.679
sounds better because it's an

166
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.319
appointment with Jane she knows about it

167
00:11:35.319 --> 00:11:44.578
and our last example is the light broken

168
00:11:44.578 --> 00:11:47.819
what's the most appropriate answer here

169
00:11:47.819 --> 00:11:50.500
yes the electrician is going to come

170
00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.819
tomorrow to fix it

171
00:11:51.819 --> 00:11:57.519
oh yes the electrician is coming

172
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:05.470
tomorrow to fix it pay definitely sounds

173
00:12:05.470 --> 00:12:07.509
better because you have an appointment

174
00:12:07.509 --> 00:12:10.269
with the electrician he's told you is

175
00:12:10.269 --> 00:12:17.019
coming ok let's finish our review of the

176
00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:19.839
future tenses by looking at this table

177
00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:24.279
that summarizes the uses of will going

178
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:29.439
to and be doing well for a decision at

179
00:12:29.439 --> 00:12:33.220
the time of speaking going to for a

180
00:12:33.220 --> 00:12:35.970
decision before the time of speaking and

181
00:12:35.970 --> 00:12:39.279
be doing for an arrangement for an

182
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:44.399
appointment and will for uncertainty

183
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:48.779
with expressions like I think maybe

184
00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:54.429
probably and going to for certainty with

185
00:12:54.429 --> 00:12:59.129
expressions like I'm sure I'm certain

186
00:12:59.129 --> 00:13:04.179
definitely please remember that these

187
00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:06.429
aren't guidelines for you to be able to

188
00:13:06.429 --> 00:13:09.189
choose the most appropriate form in each

189
00:13:09.189 --> 00:13:13.208
situation of course sometimes both forms

190
00:13:13.208 --> 00:13:17.259
work equally well but really only a

191
00:13:17.259 --> 00:13:19.179
native speaker would know that

192
00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.050
instinctively

193
00:13:21.050 --> 00:13:24.360
there's a non-native speaker it is

194
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.240
useful to follow these guidelines but

195
00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:29.400
allow you to be really confident in

196
00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:35.370
choosing the future forms well I hope

197
00:13:35.370 --> 00:13:37.830
you've enjoyed this video about future

198
00:13:37.830 --> 00:13:42.530
tenses and the previous one as you know

199
00:13:42.530 --> 00:13:45.360

201
00:13:48.630 --> 00:13:51.240
explanations again and do the exercises
