Hello and welcome to Six Minute Grammar.
With me, Catherine and me, Finn.
Hello.
And today we're talking about six different different ways of talking about the future, like will and be going to.
And we can also use the present simple and continuous tenses.
And we're going to share a couple of other ways as well.
That's right.
And as usual, there'll be a quiz at the end to test what you've learned.
So let's get started.
First, we'll look at Will and be going to.
They're both very common and a lot of the time they're used in a similar way to talk about predictions, but not always.
So let's hear an example of be going to.
And Finn, a question for you.
Okay.
What's for dinner tonight?
