Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Form the simple future with will, adding the base verb unchanged - I will go, they will arrive, it will rain

  • Form the same future with be going to, matching the auxiliary to the subject - I am going to eat, we are going to have, he is going to watch

  • Choose a future form independently when the direction line names no particular one

Teaching tips

  • Work pages 1 and 2 as a matched pair: compare how each page forms the future, noting that the verbs and sentence contexts also differ

  • The "going to" page is the one where subject-verb agreement bites, since am, is and are all have to be chosen correctly before the verb is even reached

  • Save the future-continuous page for after the simple-future pages are secure; it is the only page requiring two changes at once, the auxiliary and the -ing ending

Skills covered

  • Forming the simple future with will - students supply will plus the unchanged base verb in ten sentences, including shopping and travel examples.

  • Forming the future with be going to - a whole page requires the auxiliary to be matched to the subject before the verb is added, as in "He ___ (watch) a movie tonight".

  • Choosing a future form unaided - the third page names no form, so students decide for themselves which construction fits the sentence.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

If the first two pages both cover the future, what separates them?

The form each one names. Page one specifies "using 'will'" and page two specifies "'going to'", so the two simple-future constructions are practised in isolation before a third page asks students to pick one for themselves.

What does the final page add beyond the simple future?

The final page practices future continuous forms such as will be studying and will be staying, including negative prompts. Introduce will be plus an -ing form before assigning it.

Are negative forms practised alongside the positive ones?

On every page. Bracketed prompts such as (not attend), (not come), (not like) and (not enjoy) sit among the positive items, so students have to build "will not attend" or "is not going to come" rather than only the affirmative pattern.
