Unit 8 focused on the future tense. The future tense has seven common uses which include two present tenses, the present simple and the present continuous. The present simple is used to suggest a formal situation, for schedules and timetables, and when one wishes to be more impersonal or to imply an outside compulsion, and the present continuous for definite arrangements and plans or decisions without a time frame. The other "outlier" of the future tense is the going to future, used for intentions, predictions based on evidence, and plans.
The other four tenses are similar to those found in the present and past. These are the future simple, future continuous, future perfect, and the future perfect continuous. These four tenses are quite similar to those found in the past and present. For example, all of the perfect tenses in the past, present, and future utilize the auxiliary verb 'have', while the perfect continuous tense utilizes 'have been'.
This lesson was a challenge. Learning the seven future tenses and their proper use will clearly take more time, though now that I've been through them I think it will become easier to remember by focusing on the structures.
