We do not know the future. We can be 100% sure or certain about the past and the present. But we can never be 100% certain about the future. In English there are several structures and tenses to talk about the future. It is usually the degree of certainty about the future that decides our choice of structure or tense. In this lesson we look at four of the most common ways to talk about the future, followed by a summary and then a quiz to check your understanding. Although we often talk about "future tense", technically there are no future tense in English - only different ways of talking about the future, using special constructions, other tenses or modal verbs. will One of the most common ways to talk about the future is with will, for example I will call you tonight. We often call this the "future simple tense", but technically there are no future tenses in English. In this construction, the word will is a modal auxiliary verb. Here are the three main ways that we use will to talk about the future. No plan We use will when there is no prior plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision at the time of speaking. Look at these examples Hold on. I'll get a pen. We will see what we can do to help you. Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight. In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision was made at the time of speaking. We often use will with the verb think I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I think I'll have a holiday next year. I don't think I'll buy that car. Prediction We often use will to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples It will rain tomorrow. People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century. Who do you think will get the job? be The verb be is an exception with will. Even when we have a very firm plan, and we are not speaking spontaneously, we can use will with be. Look at these examples I will be in London tomorrow. There will be 50 people at the party. The meeting will be at am. The verb be is always exceptional! going to Intention We use the special going to construction when we have the intention to do something before we speak. We have already made a decision before speaking. Look at these examples I have won $1,000. I am going to buy a new TV. We're not going to see my mother tomorrow. When are you going to go on holiday? In these examples, we had an intention or plan before speaking. The decision was made before we spoke. Prediction We often use going to to make a prediction about the future. Our prediction is based on evidence. We are saying what seems sure to happen. Here are some examples The sky is very black. It is going to snow. It's You're going to miss the train! I crashed the company car. My boss isn't going to be very happy! In these examples, the present situation black sky/the time/damaged car gives us a good idea of what is going to happen. We use will for prediction when we have no real evidence "It will rain tomorrow." It's my feeling but I can't be sure. We use going to for prediction when there is some real evidence "It's going to rain." There's a big, black cloud in the sky and if it doesn't rain I'll be very surprised. Present Continuous for Plan We often use the present continuous tense to talk about the future. Of course, we normally use the present continuous to talk about action happening in the present, but if we add a future word, we can use it to talk about the future. By "future word" we mean words or expressions like tomorrow, next week, in June. The future word may be clearly expressed or understood from the context. Sometimes there is no real difference between an intention going to and a plan present continuous. In this case, it doesn't matter which we use. We're going to paint the bedroom tomorrow. We're painting the bedroom tomorrow. We use the present continuous only when a plan exists before we speak. Look at these examples Mary is taking her music exam next year. They can't play tennis with you tomorrow. They're working. We're going to the theatre on Friday. Present Simple for Schedule When an event is on a schedule or timetable for example, the take-off time for a plane, we often use the present simple to express the future. We usually also use a future phrase expressed or understood like tomorrow, at next week. Only a few verbs are used in this way, for example be, open, close, begin, start, end, finish, arrive, come, leave, return Look at these sentences The train leaves Detroit at 9pm tonight. John starts work next week. Tomorrow is Thursday. Future Time Summary When we speak, we choose the tense that we use. This is important in English, because the tense we choose expresses more than just a simple fact. When we speak about the future, the tense we choose can express how we "see" the future, even our personal feelings about the future. It certainly expresses what we believe to be the probability the chance, the reality of something happening or whether we have already decided to do it. This table gives a simple scale of probability for each structure. It is not exact because language is not a science, and there are many variables. This table should help you to think about the "concept" of the future in English. This concept does not exist in all languages, but it is rather important in English. % probability before speaking of event happening structure used for example 0% will no plan Don't get up. I'll answer the phone. 70% going to intention We're going to watch TV tonight. 90% present continuous plan I'm taking my exam in June. present simple schedule My plane takes off at tomorrow. It is impossible in English to express the future with 100% certainty. The speakers of any language that can do this must all be trillionaires!

Como este tempo faz parte do Present Tense’ em inglĂȘs, o assunto indica que a ação ou situação em questĂŁo ocorre no presente. O Present Continuous’ Ă© usado para açÔes que estĂŁo acontecendo agora ou para uma ação que estĂĄ inacabada, assim, Ă© bastante comum a utilização de advĂ©rbios de tempo nas neste artigo um conteĂșdo completo sobre o Present Continuous’, alĂ©m de explicar como e quando seu uso Ă© feito em inglĂȘs. AlĂ©m disso, traremos inĂșmeros exemplos de frases afirmativas, negativas e interrogativas, bem como exercĂ­cios para ajudar a compreender o assunto. O que Ă© e como Ă© usado o Simple Present Continuous Tense? O Simple Present Continuous Tense’ expressa os eventos ou situaçÔes que ocorrem no momento da fala, ou seja, o tempo presente. Ou ainda, se uma ação ou negĂłcio Ă© feito no momento da fala, ou para descrever uma ação que estĂĄ ocorrendo naquele momento. Ele tambĂ©m Ă© usado para falar sobre uma ação que acontece num perĂ­odo delimitado de tempo, ou ainda sobre uma ação planejada para um futuro que irĂĄ acontecer em breve. Preparamos uma ilustração para mostrar essa progressĂŁo temporal do Present Continuous’. Outro uso que podemos encontrar do Present Continuous’ Ă© para descrever uma tendĂȘncia ou ação que estĂĄ acontecendo atualmente, ou ainda para falar um evento ou situação temporĂĄria. Este tempo verbal Ă© realmente diferente do Simple Present’ em sua construção, bem como em seu uso. Por isso, Ă© preciso saber quando Ă© melhor usar o Simple Present’ ou o Present Continuous’. Usamos o Present Continuous’ para falar sobre algo que estĂĄ acontecendo agora, ou algo que estĂĄ mudando e se desenvolvendo, situaçÔes temporĂĄrias, ou um evento que acontece novamente. Ele tambĂ©m Ă© usado para falar de um evento planejado em um futuro prĂłximo. A Ășnica exceção no Present Continuous’ sĂŁo os verbos estativos stative verbs sĂŁo palavras que indicam condiçÔes ou estados. NĂŁo podemos usar verbos estativos com nenhum sufixo, entĂŁo devemos sempre usar o Simple Present’. Classificamos os verbos estativos em Verbos que descrevem pensamentos e sentimentos believe, dislike, prefer, realise, understand, like, know, remember, recognise, want, love, hate, suppose, think, wish acreditar, nĂŁo gostar, preferir, perceber, entender, gostar, saber, lembrar, reconhecer, querer, amar, odiar, supor, pensar, desejar Verbos dos sentidos appear, smell, taste, look, feel, seem aparecer, cheirar, provar, olhar, sentir, parecer Outros belong, agree, own, be, owe, posses pertencer, concordar, possuir, ser, dever, possuir Exemplo My boss is agreeing with me. ✘ Meu chefe concorda comigo. – Present Continuous My boss agrees with me. ✔ Meu chefe concorda comigo. – Simple Present The cake is smelling good. ✘ O bolo estĂĄ cheirando bem. – Present Continuous The cake smells good. ✔ O bolo estĂĄ cheirando bem. – Simple Present Faça o download do mapa mental do Present Continuous’. Quais sĂŁo as regras gramaticais do Present Continuous em inglĂȘs? Este assunto Ă© de grande importĂąncia entre os alunos de inglĂȘs, por isso vamos olhar para a sintaxe da frase no Present Continuous’, lembrando que a regra SVO Sujeito + Verbo + Objeto Ă© vĂĄlida como em todos os outros tempos. A construção de frases no presente contĂ­nuo Ă© fĂĄcil. No Simple Present Continuous Tense’, o verbo principal recebe o sufixo -ing’. AlĂ©m do sufixo, vamos encontrar o verbo auxiliar apropriado am/is/are’ logo apĂłs o sujeito, antes do verbo principal. Em geral, Ă© possĂ­vel dizer que as regras gramaticais do Present Continuous’ sĂŁo as seguintes Frases Afirmativas Em frases afirmativas, Present Continuous’ Ă© composto por duas partes o presente do verbo to be’ + o Verb-ing verbo infinitivo com o sufixo -ing’. Temos que distinguir entre a pessoa do sujeito em cada frase para saber como e quando usar a forma correta do verbo to be’. Depois, apenas colocamos o verbo principal no gerĂșndio, ou seja, adicionando sufixo –ing’ . Sujeito + am/is/are + Verb-ing + Objeto Por exemplo I am going to school. Eu estou indo para a escola. She is just leaving work. She’ll be at the cinema in an hour. Ela estĂĄ apenas saindo do trabalho. Ela estarĂĄ no cinema em uma hora. The children are sleeping at their grandmother’s house. As crianças estĂŁo dormindo na casa da avĂł. Frases Negativas Em frases negativas, o sufixo not’ deve ser adicionado apĂłs o verbo auxiliar. Sujeito + am/is/are not + Verb-ing + Objeto Por exemplo I am not going to school. Eu nĂŁo vou Ă  escola. She is not just leaving work now. She’ll be at the cinema in an hour. Ela nĂŁo estĂĄ apenas saindo do trabalho agora. Ela estarĂĄ no cinema em uma hora. The children are not sleeping at their grandmother’s house. As crianças nĂŁo estĂŁo dormindo na casa da avĂł. Frases Interrogativas E, para formar uma frase interrogativa, basta colocar o verbo auxiliar no inĂ­cio da frase, antes do sujeito. Am/is/are +sujeito + Verb-ing + Objeto ? Por exemplo Am I going to school? Eu vou para a escola? Is she leaving work? She’ll be at the cinema in an hour. Ela estĂĄ saindo do trabalho? Ela estarĂĄ no cinema em uma hora. Are the children sleeping at their grandmother s house? As crianças estĂŁo dormindo na casa da avĂł? Tabela de regras gramaticais do Simple Present Continuous O Present Continuous Tense’ Ă© conhecido como o presente do indicativo em inglĂȘs e para isso se faz uso do verbo auxiliar e o sufixo -ing’ adicionado ao verbo principal. Examine a tabela abaixo, e observe as regras gramaticais do Present Continuous’. Sentença AfirmativaSentenças NegativaFrase da InterrogativaI am dancing. Eu estou dançando.I am not dancing. Eu nĂŁo estou dançando.Am I dancing? Eu estou dançando?You are dancing. VocĂȘ estĂĄ dançando.You are not dancing. VocĂȘ nĂŁo estĂĄ dançando.Are you dancing? VocĂȘ estĂĄ dançando.?He/She/It is dancing. Ele/Ela estĂĄ dançando.He/She/It is not dancing. Ele/Ela nĂŁo estĂĄ dançando. Is he/she/it dancing? Ele/Ela estĂĄ dançando?We are dancing.

Como usar o sufixo no Present Continuous em inglĂȘs? O sufixo -ing’ do Present Continuous’ em inglĂȘs Ă© usado para dizer que uma ação estĂĄ acontecendo naquele momento. Afinal, o sufixo -ing’ geralmente enfatiza que uma ação Ă© experimentada em um determinado processo. Este sufixo -ing’ aparece aqui porque expressa um processo, que seria equivalente ao gerĂșndio em portugues -endo. Isso Ă© vĂĄlido para todos os Continuous Tense’ Tempos ContĂ­nuos em inglĂȘs. Normalmente, apenas adicionamos o sufixo -ing’ e pronto, mas hĂĄ algumas palavras que temos que mudar um pouco para garantir que estejam corretas. Às vezes dobramos a Ășltima letra, ou ainda trocamos a letra completamente . Existem algumas regras, veja Quando o verbo termina com uma consoante + vogal tĂŽnica + consoante → dobramos a Ășltima letra. Stop → Stopping Begin → Beginning Run → Running Quando o verbo termina com com vogal + consoante + e’ → o e’ serĂĄ trocado por i’. Come → Coming Mistake → Mistaking Quando o verbo termina com com -ie → o -ie’ serĂĄ trocado por y’. Die → Dying Lie → Lying Vale lembrar que alguns verbos nĂŁo sĂŁo normalmente utilizados na forma contĂ­nua, com o sufixo -ing’, tais como to envy, to prefer, to wish, to feel, to suppose, to hold, to mean, to imagine, to understand,
’ VocĂȘ irĂĄ perceber o uso a medida que se aprofundar nos estudos, na leitura e no uso cotidiano. AlĂ©m disso, como jĂĄ vimos, apĂłs o sujeito, os verbos auxiliares apropriados am/is/are’ sĂŁo usados, e na sequĂȘncia aparece o verbo principal com o sufixo verb+ing.
