The Simple Future Tense El Tiempo Futuro Simple


(Will vs. Be Going To)

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to."
Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often
express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem
too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become
clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.

El Futuro Simple tiene dos formas diferentes en ingls: "will" y "be going
to." Aunque las dos formas a veces pueden usarse indistintamente, a
menudo expresan dos significados muy diferentes. Estos significados
diferentes podran parecer muy abstractos al principio, pero con el tiempo y
prctica, las diferencias se harn claras. Tanto "will" como "be going to" se
refieren a un tiempo especfico en el futuro.

FORM WILL

GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE ESTRUCTURA GRAMATICAL

WILL + VERB (BASE FORM)

IMPORTANT REMINDER RECORDATORIO IMPORTANTE


We NEVER add a verb in INFINITIVE FORM after will, as for example:
NUNCA aadimos un verbo en FORMA INFINITIVA despus de will,
como por ejemplo:
I will to close the window. (Incorrect)
I will close the window (Correct)

We use the form will in the following situations:


Usamos la forma will en las siguientes situaciones:

1. A decision at the moment of speaking


Una decisin en el momento en que se est hablando

Example:
A: Im cold A: Tengo fro
B: Ill close the window. B: Cerrar la ventana.

As we can see in the example, the fact of closing the window is a


decision that has to be taken at that moment, not later. So that, in this
case will is used for immediate decisions.

Como podemos ver en el ejemplo, el hecho de cerrar la ventana es una


decisin que debe ser tomada en ese momento, no despus. As que, en
este caso will es utilizado para decisiones inmediatas.

2. Prediction based on opinion.

3. To Express a Voluntary Action

"Will" often suggests that a person will do something voluntarily. A


voluntary action is the one a person offers to do for someone else.
Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request
for help. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to
voluntarily do something.

Will a menudo sugiere que una persona har algo voluntariamente.


Una accin voluntaria es la que una persona ofrece hacer por alguien
ms. A menudo, usamos will para responder a la queja o

not o wont cuando nos negamos a hacer algo voluntariamente.
