TEXT. FORMAS DE EXPRESAR EL FUTURO

Para hablar sobre el futuro podemos utilizar diferentes formas verbales dependiendo del matiz que se quiera expresar. Estas formas que expresan ideas distintas sobre el futuro son:

Going to
Afirmacin I am going to work You are going to work He is going to work She is going to work It is going to work We are going to work You are going to work They are going to work Negacin I am not going to work You are not going to work He is not going to work She is not going to work It is not going to work We are not going to work You are not going to work They are not going to work Interrogacin Am I going to work? Are you going to work? Is he going to work? Is she going to work? Is it going to work? Are we going to work? Are you going to work? Are they going to work?

Utilizaremos la forma going to cuando hablamos de acciones futuras sobre las cuales ya hemos pensado con antelacin.

Pgina 1

BSICO. UNIDAD 10
Ejemplo: When he finishes his studies at university, he's going to travel around the world.

El hecho de usar going to indica que esta persona ha decidido con anterioridad lo que quiere hacer al acabar sus estudios. Por otra parte, esta forma verbal tambin expresa una prediccin sobre el futuro basada en hechos actuales: Ejemplo: Stop playing with that lighter! You're going to burn your fingers.

El hecho de 'jugar con el encendedor' es la base para predecir 'te vas a quemar los dedos'. Este uso del going to tambien es conocido como el futuro inmediato.

Will

Este es un verbo modal; no tiene significado en s mismo pero indica que el verbo que le sigue est en futuro. Will ms el infinitivo de otro verbo a continuacin forman el Future with will. Affirmative I will/shall work (I'll) You will work He will work (he'll) She will work (she'll) it will work (it'll) We will /Shall work (we'll) You will work (you'll) They will work (they'll) Negative I will / shall not work (won't/ shan't) You (you'll) will not work (won't) He will not work (won't) She will not work (won't) It will not work (won't) We will /shall not work (won't/shant) You will not work (won't) They will not work (won't) Interrogative Will / shall I work? Will you work? Will he work? Will she work? Will it work? Will /shall we work? Will you work? Will they work?

Igual que el going to el futuro simple tambin expresa una intencin futura; en este caso la decisin se toma en el momento de hablar; no es una intencin ya meditada. Ejemplo: - Oh dear, I left my keys at the office. How can I get into the house? - I know! I'll get in through the kitchen window. La decisin de entrar en la casa por la ventana no es premeditada sino improvisada. El will tambin expresa predicciones sobre el futuro en trminos generales y normalmente sin ninguna base en el presente. Normalmente va precedido de una serie de verbos como: think Ejemplos: suppose hope be sure expect guess

Where will people live in the 22nd century? I hope my children will be intelligent and good-looking. We don't think we'll win the match; we aren't as good as the other team.

The Present Continuous Tense

Este tiempo verbal se utiliza como futuro para hablar de aquellas acciones futuras que ya han sido preparadas y decididas con antelacin.

Affirmative I am(I'm)working you are (you're)working he is (he's)working she is (she's)working it is (it's ) working we are (we're) working you are (you're)working they are (they're) working Ejemplo: Interrogative am I working? are you working? is he working? is she working? is it working? are we working? are you working? are they working? Negative I am (I'm) not working you are not (aren't) working he is not (isn't) working she is not (isn't) working it is not (isn't) working we are not (aren't) working you are not (aren't) working they are not (aren't) working

I'm not coming to the excursion on Sunday. I'm working.
