The eighth unit discusses the formation and usage of the future tenses, which includes future simple, continuous, perfect, perfect continuous and more. The future simple is formed by using will plus a verb, such as: I will be back from vacation in June. This form is used to portray future facts, promises, predictions, assumptions, spontaneous decisions, and threats. In place of the word “will,” one can use the word “shall,” which is more formal and less determined than “will.” A common mistake made by students is confusing the future simple with “be going to,” meaning teachers should be attentive to this mistake. In order to form the future continuous, the sentence structure uses the word “will” followed by “be” then the verb plus -ing or the present participle. This tense is used when one wants to say something in progress at a moment in the future, to predict the present, to form politie inquiries and to refer to future events which are fixed or decided. In forming this tense, students commonly will omit one word within the formation, such as, ‘we will waiting for you’ instead of ‘we will be waiting for you.’ To teach this form, teachers can use arrangement of dairies and dates, as well as, illustrative situations. Next, the future perfect is formed by adding have and a past participle to ‘will.’ The use of the future perfect is in situations where something will have been done or completed by a certain time in the future. The distinction between the future perfect continuous and the future perfect is that the future perfect is used when the action will be completed by a certain time ve the future perfect continuous where the action can continue after the time. The future perfect continuous is formed by adding been to the future perfect and is used to say how long something will have continued by a certain time. To distinguish this form from the future perfect, students can look for adverbial expressions that begin with by, such as, ‘by this time tomorrow’ or ‘by next week.’ The next tense is formed by taking ‘be going’ and adding an infinitive and is used to indicate intentions, predictions and plans. The present tenses of present simple and present continuous can be used as future tenses. The present simple tense is used in the future when referring to formal situations, timetables, schedules, and implications of outside compulsion. The present continuous is used in the future for definite arrangements and decisions without a time frame. There are various teaching strategies depending on the form and it is especially important for teachers to be able to distinguish when each form should be used and to check when tenses are formed incorrectly.
