5. Language Focus (page 169)
Say:
Curriculum:
AL: Students will compare different
language elements of English, such as
tense and gender, to their mother
tongue.
Today we are going to talk about the Future
Simple tense.
We use the Future Simple to talk about things
that will happen in the future.
We use time expressions like: tomorrow, next year, next week, in a week, in a year, in three
days, soon, later (Write these words on the board. Explain that any combinations of next __,
and in ___, are also fine.)
So we get a sentence like: I will go to Paris next summer.
Or: We will make brownies tomorrow. (Write the sentences on the board.)
Let’s look at the book and see what examples we have there. (Read the examples from the
book.)
We now understand when to use the Future Simple.
Now let’s learn how to form the future tense: will + base form.
In the Future Simple we use the helping verb ‘will’ for all sentences— positive, negative and
questions.
Note the short form of future: I will = I’ll (the apostrophe replaces the letters ‘wi’).
The same goes for ‘he will – he’ll, ‘we will – we’ll. (Write on board.)
OK, now we know how to form positive sentences.
Let’s look at Yes / No questions.
To form a question in the Future Simple, we move the helping verb ‘will’ to the beginning of
the sentence.
So we get a question like ‘Will you go to Barcelona next year?’ and the answer would be
‘Yes, I will go to Barcelona next year.’ (Do a few more examples on the board until the
students understand the concept.)
We usually use the short form to answer questions; "Yes, I will."
Remember we used the short form in Unit 3, page 83, when we learned the Past Simple.
If the answer is NO, we need to form a negative sentence.
To do this, we have to add the negative word, not.
We add it between the helping verb and the verb.
