Forty-third (43th) Lesson

The future We will now look at the future tense. You form the future tense by putting "will" in front of nearly all our verbs. For instance, the verb "to dress", in the future, becomes "I will dress; you will dress". We continue with the contraction: "We'll dress, you'll dress, they'll dress." You see, it's easy! Let's look at some sentences in the future: I'll go to the cinema tonight if you'll come with me. You will learn English quickly if you read a lesson every day. The word "shall" is mainly used for suggestions: It's raining, shall we take a taxi? How much money will you need? Shall I give you some more? Will you give me some more coffee, please? How will you go to work? The tube's on strike. - I'll take my car. Shall I phone the office and tell them you'll be late? I'll drive; you'll be late; you will have problems.
