This week in class we have started to learn about the future tense. The English language has a few different ways to talk about the future tense--something that has not happened yet. If you missed class this week, or if you want to read a good explanation of the future tense, the link below will take you a page at Englishhints.com that has a good overview.
My Suggestion: Click on the link below and read about the two main ways to form the future tense--
1. will + base form of verb--Example: I will write the report tomorrow.
2. be + going to + base form of verb--Example: I am going to write the report tomorrow. ***
Then try the practice exercise where it says Practice forming the future tense. After sentence #10, click on the blue link to check your answers.
***Remember that to + the base form of the verb is called the infinitive of the verb. So another way to think of the "going to" form of the future tense is:
be + going+ infinite form of verb--Example: I am going to write the report tomorrow.
