Will vs Be Going To vs Present Continuous: Talk About the Future in English (Jack Explains)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- This English lesson explains the difference between WILL, BE GOING TO, and the PRESENT CONTINUOUS when talking about the future.
(BTW, my wife loves my hair 😀)
THE THREE SENTENCES:
- Okay, I'll get my hair cut soon (I made the decision to do this while speaking).
- I'm going to get my hair cut soon (I have the intention to do this but I don't have an appointment)
- I'm getting my hair cut on Tuesday (I have an appointment)
FIRST CONDITIONAL:
You can use both WILL and BE GOING TO in the first conditional. Learn more about the first conditional here: • How to Use the First C...
PREDICTIONS
We can use both WILL and BE GOING TO when predicting the future.
- I think it will rain soon
- I think it's going to rain soon
However, if you are basing your prediction on current evidence, use BE GOING TO.
- look at that black cloud. It's going to rain soon!
PRESENT SIMPLE:
We can also use the present simple to talk about the future. This is when something is on a schedule.
- what time does the lesson start?

The Kings’ speech 👍
I'm a native English speaker and trying to explain how to use Will, going to, and present continuous to a friend who is trying to learn English. We just use it without thinking about it. But I never realized how complicated future tense was.
Future is not a tense. It's time
@@learnenglish890 Yeah that's true. Tense refers to verb tense and since the present and future verb tense in English are the same it could be argued that there is no future tense in English. We just use the auxiliary verb will or going to to signify future.
Could you help me to improve my english
No bro it's not a tuff as you thinking once you have clear understanding and confusion gone about these you'll have easy-peasy..
best wishes
Neither me
Native speaker here and newly qualified TESOL teacher. 🎉 I'll be teaching this to some students today and this video really helped me organise everything in my brain! Thank you 😊
One of the easiest and most understandable explanations I've ever come across about this topic! Brilliant!
I will watch this again. It's so difficult to use correctly.Thank you very much.
Hope you understand it better the second time!
Pongsai P клас
I already watched this so many times... and it helps my very much when I watched for the first time that I take 7/10 in the english test!
So clear, so useful, so updated...I wonder why others don't use your way of teaching..it all seems so complicated with them and so easy with you 😍.I will fallow your way...thank you
True. I'm getting confused when a teacher begins to write things on a board with a pencil in her/his hand.
Thank you Jack for making this video.
I’ll save it in my library. I’m going to use it as a material for our English grammar lessons.
These tenses and their uses are going to give headaches for my Vietnamese students, who, in their native language, don’t have any notions about them.
Classes in Việt Nam are reopening early next month, as the government has announced the end of the stay-home period.
Stay healthy and motivated. My best wishes to you.
I'll share this video . Intention at the moment of decision
I'm going to share this video. premeditated intention .
I'm leaving tonight . Future arrangement ( i have decided to leave )
Your are the best teacher in the world 😭❤️
I've never seen a better video about this topic, and I can not believe now I understand the difference! Thank you so much
I like his style of teaching. He is so natural.
It was one of the most practical video I've seen, thanks
Hey, thank you very much for the video. The three tenses feel easy when we use them spontaneously, but apparently it can be complicated when we have to explain it to other people. 😅
Now I have better understanding about them, thanks to you. I'm going to show this video to my students. The narrative example makes it easier to understand!
I'm studying to teach ESL and this is one of the best videos I've seen. The explanation is so clear and detailed! Plus, I love how there's no music in the background while you're speaking because I can't concentrate on what someone's saying when there's music. Thank you so much! You've just got a new subscriber. :)
I love your clear pronounciation
This is quite difficult for learners but now I can see crystal clear!
I teach English in Taiwan. I thank you a million. It's super clear, i love your examples of getting hair cut. It helps me sooooossssssoooooo much.
I love the way you are speaking English, that helped me to decide which kind of English to learn whether American English or Brithis English.
Thanks
I had many doubts about this topic, but after watch this video I have a better idea how to use each one.
Great, very good explanation!
The negative point, the example of beer is not the best, alcohol should not be advertised; it's not healthy. Cakes, books, money, etc would be better. Again, thank you teacher for this intetedting video.
CONGRATS FOR THIS USEFUL PRESENTATION!
I have an exam tomorrow and this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve watched so far! Thank you:)
Really you are amazing. Super teacher.

I am having an exam next Thursday at 10 am and this video is very helpful for me. Thank you very much for your efforts
luckily enough it's not at 11 am 🙄😁
IT is my third video same lesson, your concept is very clear to easy understand...
Jack, congratulations. I´ve watched tons of videos about this topic and this is the best one. This mainly because the given examples were easy to understand and overall due to the double repetition of the same example. It helps a lot to cement or root the point you are explaining. So, it would be nice to keep watching and hearing videos like this one. Thanks a lot.
I really apreciate u making this video because i had an english test with these tenses, I got an 8!
I will watch this lesson again as soon as possible.
Great lesson, very clear

Jack I'm Brazilian but I live in UK now. More precisely your town, Manchester 😃. Are you going to come for Christmas?
When I first arrived here I was struggling a lot with the English accent but now after one year I can understand muuuch more then I used to. It's great to find such a helpful channel though, with a great English accent and many practical examples of future clauses. Thanks a lot Jack! 👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻
I comprehend the lesson very well.
you are absolutely amazing ,
After seeing your video, I must say that I will follow your video
I will watch this video tomorrow once again, as there is so much information to be revised . Any way… thanks a lot 🤗👍
I am going to watch it again.
I am watching it.
You are fu**ing amazing! I started working as a teacher few months ago I sometimes I get in trouble because I know how to use, but I don't know how to explain and you're helping me a lot on how to improve it! Thank you so much!
Strange way of expressing yourself (as a teacher). I hope you manage to distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate register in class.
Great ! Grandioso! I am going to watch this vídeo several times. ( voy a mirar este vídeo muchas veces ) .Thanks.
Que bien! La repetición es importante.
Thank you for your useful lesson👏🙂

Unbelievable video man I like it. Thanks for sharing with us
Thank you, You are so clear !!!!!!
Thank you. I am just teaching this Grammar stuff to my students.It is so useful. Thanks a lot!
Hi Jack, from France. Thank you for this excellent video.
Probably most of native English speakers make the distinction between will, going to, and the present continuous unconsciously
and would be unable to explain it like you did so well. That's why it's so interesting to learn languages. It makes you discover things
in both your own language and the one you're learning.
You just made me realize we have approximately the same distinctions in French:
D'accord, je me ferai couper les cheveux demain. (future; I'm making the decision while speaking)
Je vais me faire couper les cheveux demain. (equivalent to "I'm going to"; my decision is already made)
Je me fais couper les cheveux demain à 15h. (present simple because we don't have a present continuous in French; the rendez-vous has already been taken)
Very good explained!
Excellent explanation as always Jack, Thank You !
Thank u from Kazakhstan! I got more informations which i can not understand myself.
you;ve described very clear and nothing is unclear.thank you jack;)
Hi Jack, what about these examples?
"I'm not satisfied about my test so..."
1) I'll talk about it to my teacher
[I've just decided to talk to him]
2) I'm going to talk about it to my teacher tomorrow.
[That's my plan but perhaps he doesn't know]
3) I'm talking to my teacher about it tomorrow.
[I've arranged the meeting with him]
Wow, i can improve my grammar and listening skills, while I am listening you. Thank you. I'm from Russia
Nikita Denisov me too.
You helped me very much, thank you!
Thanks! Very useful. It's difficult to understand it but you do it easier.
You nailed it my friend thanks a lot
Now that I've watched this video, it's going to be easier for me to answer my english test. Thank you!
Do you know, you're the best teacher?
Thanks, Jack! You made it very clearly. Now I can teach my students confidently! :)
Thanks, so clear
Such a perfect explanation, thank you so much!!!
