There are the seven ways for talking future.
1. The Future Simple
- Future facts and certainties decisions
- Promises
- Predictions
- Assumption or speculations
- Spontaneous
- Threats
2. The Future Continuous
- To say something will be in progress at a particular moment in the future
- to predict the present to say what we think might be happening now
- for polite enquiries referring to other people's plans, but not to influence the listener's intention
- to refer to future events which are fixed or decided without suggesting personal intention
3. The Future Perfect
- to say that something will have been done or achieved by a certain time in the future
4. The Future Perfect Continuous
- to say how long something will have continued by a certain time
5. Be going + infinitive
- intention
- prediction based on present evidence
- Plans made before speaking
6. The present simple
- To suggest a more formal situation
- For time tables and schedules
- To suggest a more impersonal tone. It often is implying an outside compulsion
7. The present continuous
- For definite arrangement
- For decisions and plans without a time frame
Among the above ones, no.5, 6 & 7 are confusing for learners because their forms don't look like a typical future tense but looks like present tenses. Thus teachers need to explain the circumstances when those no.5,6,& 7 are used.
