1. Future Simple

will + infinitive

We use the future simple:

1.1. to express a future fact: I'll be 10 next year.

1.2. to predict events in the future when predictions are based more on opinion rather than evidence: People will go to Mars on holidays soon.

1.3. to talk about decisions we make at the time of speaking: I'm tired. I'll go to bed.

1.4. for promises (as well as threats, warnings, hopes, fears): I'll help you./I won't leave you./I hope he won't lose the money./I'm afraid I'll be late.

1.5. for things we are uncertain about: Perhaps I'll go to the supermarket.

We do not use the future simple after time words (when, before, after, as soon as, until, if, as, etc.): We'll have dinner as soon as dad comes home.

If when is a question word, we can use the future simple after it: When will dad come home?

    Делаем вместе с сыном бесплатные задания по английскому в Skysmart, это оказалось полезно не только для него, но и для меня. Например, вспомнила, как использовать артикли, — эта тема для меня всегда была сложноватой. Хотелось бы побольше заданий на аудирование, пока у сына этот навык хромает.

    Я занимаюсь в Skysmart с 3‑го класса, и немного удивился, когда нашел раздел с бесплатными заданиями здесь. Они отличаются от тех, которые мы проходим на уроках, но тоже интерактивные. По-моему, на компьютере делать упражнения получается быстрее и интереснее, чем в тетрадке.

    Наткнулась на этот сайт, когда готовилась к ВПР по английскому. Пассивный залог — моя больная тема, но бесплатные задания помогли вспомнить правила, а потом еще статью почитала, и работу написала в итоге хорошо.
