In unit 8 the future tenses were covered extensively. The future tenses consists of future simple, future continuous, future perfect, future perfect continuous, be going + infinitive, present simple and present continuous. This area of future tenses is actually quite complex and many ideas can be used with future meanings. The future simple tense is primarily used for making snap spontaneous decisions, formulating assumptions or making threats. It uses shall/will to the varying degrees of suggestive or stronger intentions on future events. Future continuous contains the formula will + be + verb-ing in order to express that something will be in progress at a particular moment in the future. In a way it is used to 'predict the present' to say what we think or guess what might be happening now. Next is future perfect, will + have + past participle this is used to say that something will have been done, completed or achieved by a certain time in the future. Future perfect continuous is used to say how long something will have continued by a certain time. Its form is will + have + been + verb-ing to express this period of continued action. Going to future is used to express intentions, predictions based on current evidence and plans made before speaking. It consists of going + to + infinitive and this tense looks very similar to the present continuous which may be confusing for students. Present simple is used to suggest a more formal situation, timetables and schedules or to express a more impersonal tone. It uses the present tense but has the aspect of future events compiled within to show the direction in time. The last tense in this unit is present continuous which is mostly used in the present tense form but has usage in the future tense as well. It is used for definitive arrangements and for decision as well as plans without a time frame. In conclusion, this unit was a lot more complicated than at first glance but is a crucial component when learning the tenses within the English language. To express a future tense means to have control over many aspects of speech and benefits the user greatly.
