Exercise 6

¿CÓMO SE FORMA EL FUTURO?

* En inglés existen distintas maneras de expresar el futuro. El factor principal para decidir qué estructura debes usar es el grado de certeza de que lo que afirmas va a ocurrir. En los ejemplos anteriores, la frase a indica un plan concreto. Para transmitir ese hecho del que estamos muy seguros, usamos el Present Continuous. Por otra parte, la frase b es una predicción basada en una opinión personal. Para indicar esta menor certeza usamos el Future Simple, con el verbo modal “will”.

¿CÓMO SE FORMA EL FUTURO?

FUTURE SIMPLE ¿para que se utiliza?

INTERROGATIVO Will + pronoun + verb + complement ? Yes, (pronoun) will. / No,(pronoun) won't.

1. Para hacer promesas. e.g. I’ll phone you later > Te llamaré más tarde 2. Ofrecimientos e.g. Don’t worry, I’ll help you to paint your flat > No te preocupes, yo te ayudaré a pintar el piso 3. Decisiones espontáneas e.g. Oh no, the supermarket is closed! I’ll have to get take-away > Oh, no, el supermercado está cerrado! Tendré que comprar comida para llevar

AFIRMATIVO I will + verb + complement She / He / It will + verb + complement You / They / We will + verb + complement

NEGATIVO > WILL + NOT > WON'T I won't + verb + complement She / He / It won't + verb + complement You / They / We won't + verb + complement

FUTURE SIMPLE ¿para que se utiliza?

Bonus example: [DON'T FORGET, se niega al inicio: "don't think". La parte del futuro siempre con 'will' nunca 'won't] e.g. [incorrect] I think that the boy you like will not return. [correct] I don't think that the boy you like will return.
